Hannah Fell in Love with My Piano

歌詞

When I was a little kid down in Louisiana Playing with my little sweetheart, Hannah Playing hide and go seek among the sugar cane When I heard my mammy call, at the bend of the lane: She say, "Jim"; "Yeah, what do you want, Mother?" "I'm going to town, son, and buy you a suit" "And what else, Mother?" "And when I come back, you know, darling, I'm going to give you some fruit" Why, she gave me an apple, banana, pie, peach and plum I started playing on my instrument for Hannah And then she started to... said, "Son" The way that gal looked at me, I could plainly see It was in her eyes She wanted me to play, can I see Miss Hannah, she got stuck on the way I played piano Nice little piano All but her my apple,____ I wanted to play her grand opera, too She said, "Stop it, man Don't play that stuff for me I want you to play something good, you fool" Go on and play that piano She got stuck on the way I played piano Ummm, piano Said, "If you want me to be Go on, Tennessee,"____ You better play it, whip it, pat it, bang it Play it, oh, papa, play for me Spoken: Now, listen here, what do you mean you're going to take me home? You know a man and a taxicab is two dollars fare You gonna do what? You gonna put it in my stocking, the money, bro? Well, you'll never do nothing like that to me I can't stand that kind of a jive Lord, the last man said he was going to give me something When I woke up and come home the next morning I didn't have no legs, stockings or anything else Have I got another fellow? Sure I got another fellow Where is he? Out of town? What am I doing when he's out of town? What do you think old lady Rip van Winkle was doing while Rip was sleeping? I guess you thought that she was out there on the corner playing in the sand or doing something like that All you got to do is one thing for me Play it, play it, play it, papa, for me Ummm, Hannah She got crazy way I play the piano Lord, piano I want to play her grand opera Play her radio tunes,____ She said, "Lord, Lord, nobody better come in here!" Crazy Lord, oh Miss Hannah She went wild about the way I play piano I mean, pretty piano You want me to be Go up in a tree?____ You better play it, whip it, bang it, pat it, rip it and play it All for me
