IntroG.......Verse 1GDeFord was a man from Castlewood, Tenn'
Blowed on that hDarp both night and dGay
How he wailed on them reeds 'til his lips would bleed
Played 'til the LDord knows whGen
Just a lDittle baby boy with a silver toy
And the polio strikin' fire and wind
At four foot nine, just one of his kind
The grGeatest there ever been

ChorusCBlow, blow, DGeFord, blow
CPlay that Pan-AmericDan
GOh, Foh, whDere did he gGo?
DDeFord Bailey rides agaGinVerse 2G..Arise, gals and gents, for the show to commence
There's a good-nature rDiot on the aGir
Little DeFGord's on the loose with them Muscle Shoals Blues
Let the Jim Crow SDouth bewarGe
Like the fDox chasin' game
He was black balled and shamed
Stripped out the silver from his hand
Now, it's welfare lines and a dollar shine
Singin', "Oh, LoGrd, ain't I a man?" ChorusCBlow, blow, DGeFord, blow
CPlay that Pan-AmericDan
GOh, Foh, whDere did he gGo?

"Must have been those Ice Water Blues"
Now, up in Greenwood you'll find a plot, four foot nine
For our city's biggest shame, they whitewashed his name
For that kind of sin, there ain't nGo excuseChorusCBlow, blow, DGeFord, blow
