Lyrics Did You Hear John Hurt? - Tom Paxton
It
was
a
frosty
night.
It
was
beginning
to
snow,
And
down
the
city
streets,
the
wind
began
to
blow.
We
all
came
to
the
cellar.
We
all
emptied
the
bar,
To
hear
a
little
fellow,
play
a
shiny
guitar.
Did
you
hear
John
Hurt
play
the
"Creole
Bell,"
"Spanish
Fandango"
that
he
loved
so
well?
And
did
you
love
John
Hurt?
Did
you
shake
his
hand?
Did
you
hear
him
sing
his
"Candy
Man?"
On
a
straight
back
chair,
with
his
felt
hat
on,
He
tickled
our
fancy
with
his
"Avalon."
And
everyone
passing
down
on
McDougal
Street,
Cocked
their
heads
and
listen
to
the
tappin'
feet.
Did
you
hear
John
Hurt
play
the
"Creole
Bell,"
"Spanish
Fandango"
that
he
loved
so
well?
And
did
you
love
John
Hurt?
Did
you
shake
his
hand?
Did
you
hear
him
sing
his
"Candy
Man?"
It
was
a
frosty
night.
It
was
beginning
to
snow,
And
down
the
city
streets,
the
wind
began
to
blow.
We
all
came
to
the
cellar.
We
all
emptied
the
bar,
To
hear
a
little
fellow,
play
a
shiny
guitar.
Did
you
hear
John
Hurt
play
the
"Creole
Bell,"
"Spanish
Fandango"
that
he
loved
so
well?
And
did
you
love
John
Hurt?
Did
you
shake
his
hand?
Did
you
hear
him
sing
his
"Candy
Man?"
