| Every mornin' ole Tee Tot come 'round
|
| Settin’up his shoe shine box in town
|
| And he’d sing «Good Mornin' Montgomery»
|
| He’d sing «Good Mornin' Montgomery'
|
| He’d sing «Good Mornin' Montgomery»
|
| He’s sing «Good Morinin' Montgomery, Alabam'
|
| I’m so glad, don’t be sad
|
| There’s no way you could feel bad
|
| When this dear man with a tin pan
|
| Started to play the blues!
|
| Met this white boy little Hiram (Hank)
|
| Took him in right under his wing
|
| And he’d say, Tee Tot make it ring
|
| And he’d say, Tee Tot make it ring
|
| And he would laugh and he would sing
|
| Could you please, «Show me»
|
| «Show me»
|
| «Show me, show me»
|
| If I could play just like you
|
| Why I’d give anything
|
| Well he learned to play like the old man said he would
|
| Little Hiram’s got his name in Hollywood
|
| I wish that Tee Tot could have stayed around
|
| Then maybe Little Hiram would not have drowned
|
| In all those things that does a boy
|
| That wants to sing no good
|
| Little Hiram’s music’s had a worldwide touch
|
| And we all owe Mr. Rufus Payne so much
|
| We got peanuts, fresh peanuts
|
| Put your money in the tin cup
|
| I can see them now with a big smile
|
| Splittin' the days work up
|
| Could you please, «Show me»
|
| «Show me»
|
| «Show me, show me»
|
| If I could play just like you
|
| Why I’d give anything
|
| Yes, Mr. Payne and Hiram (Hank) loved each other so much |
