1
"Say that boy's a wonderment"
2
"No! The kid's a freak"
3
But that kid he don't care none
4
His black hands resting on the keys
5
Hoppin' like a big old frog
6
And hissin' like a train
7
Entertaining royalty
8
All points east, west and in-between
9
General he's a fine old man
10
Treat him like his own
11
"Boy wouldn't know from money"
12
Just throw old Blind Tom a bone
13
From the times of King Cotton
14
May we present to you
15
All you Jim Crow monkeys
16
From Harlan County down to Tuscaloo
17
Play me anything you like
18
I'll play it back to you
19
Be careful what you call me though
20
Some things cut clear on through
21
I may be an idiot
22
I may be a savant
23
I didn't choose this life for me
24
But it's something that I want
25
Cocks that old big head aside
26
Grunts a word or two
27
Keeps 'em guessin' every night
28
Is he really gonna make it through
29
Faint hearts with their fans out
30
Starched collars and cigars
31
He weren't no use for slavin'
32
"I wouldn't want him in my yard"
33
[Chorus x2]
