Gordon Lightfoot - I’d Do It Again lyrics

As a one man band should be

The cried for more, he replied why sure

And he played one just for free

The sounds he laid down. the songs he played

Made the ladies all come to call

He was born in the back of a seminole bus

On the road to Niagra Falls

I'd do it again, I'd do it again

I'd do it again

The one man band philosophical man

Didn't lie when he said to us

I seen the high rollers come and go

It's the holy rollers I trust

The man said then he was sixteen when

He retired from the county school

A wee bit thin with a will to begin

He was known to be know man's fool

I'd do it again, I'd do it again

I'd do it again

The one man band was a mighty good man

Cause he played 'til the break of dawn

He ups and downs about four more rounds

And he stayed 'til the crowd went home

It seemed to me like he never could be

Like anything I'd ever seen before

When he stepped from the stage with his ax in his hand

And he run through the backstage door

I'd do it again, I'd do it again

I'd do it again

A one man band on a one night stand

As a one man band should be

They cried for more, he replied why sure

And he played one just for free
