Blow Man Blow - Marvin Johnson, Maxwell Davis, Jewell Grant

Down in Jersey

In Hackensack

There’s a little place

Called the Shack in the Back

It’s right beside a railroad track And folks go there for a sip and a snack The

waitress wears a gingham dress But you can wear your Sunday best

A jamming band puts on a show With everybody yelling

«Blow, man, blow!»

There’s a happy-go-lucky crowd Stomping and romping and singing out loud

A smokey room that’s mighty small No one cares ‘cause they’re having a ball

Some go there to sing a song Others watch what’s going on

I saw a gal that I’d like to know Dancing and yelling,

«Blow, man, blow!»

Everybody’s enjoying life Boot-black beggars and somebody’s wife.

If you get broke, don’t ever fear ‘Cause somebody’s gonna buy some wine or

beer

They don’t care about politics

Just sitting and listening to them hot licks

They clap their hands until they get sore Sipping and yelling

«Blow, man, blow!»
