Double Bass STUMP PULL WARMBATON

#162
You must take the A train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
If you miss the A train,
You'll find you've missed the quickest way to Harlem.
Bridge
Hurry, get on now, it's coming
Listen to those rails a humming. (thrumming}
All aboard! Get on the A train
Soon you will be on Sugar Hill way up in Harlem.

(I looked it up) :crying:

How about this one:

It's quater to three, there's no one in the place except you and me....

So set em' up, Joe,-- I've got a little story you ought-ta know.

(267)

And this one:

We'll have a blue room, a new room, for two room, everyday's a holiday be cause you're married to me.

(54)

And last:

Autumn in New York, why does it seem so inviting?

(36)

T - ya gotta stop putting in the title line.

1. One More for The Road
2. Blue Room - "We'll have a blue room..."
3. Autumn in New York - "Autumn in New York, why does it seem so inviting?"

Kind of like shooting ducks in a thing that it's easy to shoot ducks in, if ya know what I mean...

Paul had to look up the A Train, wanted to warm him up for some real ones :D

"Cold empty bed springs hard as lead, pains in my head feel like old Ned"

(46)

"For every rose that withers and dies another blooms in it's stead A new love waits to o penits eyes"

(43)

Maybe next we should try to guess the song on the first four chords ;)

True, those were pretty easy my apologies Paul.

This next one is probably easy too :crying:

"For the passions that thrill love, and lift you high to heaven are the passios that kill love and let you fall to hell!"

It's actually "let you fall to earth"
I'll post all these lyrics later. Short on time right now...

Your version is wrong!
For one thing in the days that Softly was written, you probably wouldn't be allowed to use the word hell in a song.
Did you guys know that they wouldn't let anybody perform that tune "Gloomy Sunday" on the radio during the Depression.
It's about a lovers death and the living lover is thinking of "joining" him/her.
I love the title of an album by Bob Brookmeyer titled: Gloomy Sunday and other bright moments :eek:

Some they may go for cocaine... Now theres an old school lyric for ya. How about the lame replacements .. perfume from Spain bop refrain. Pops got in a great dig at the censorship in his version he sings I'm sure that if I took even one more sniff...

This thread is dying a slow death...we're on the last page. I've proved that I know alot of lyrics and for the most part, everbody presented nice challenges.
This all came from Mr. Fuqua and his belief, and mine as well that as bassists and musicians that improvise on these great old "work horses", we should know or at the very least, have an idea of the lyrics not only to show respect to the composer, but to provide the "mood" or as we say the "vibe" of the written piece.
Bottom line....it's great fun!
As I was writing this, the words to " 'Round Midnight " popped into my brain....It begins to tell, 'round midnight, 'round midnight. I do pretty well til after sundown.
Supper time i'm feelin' sad.... but it really gets bad 'round midnight. OUCH! :ninja:
