Lonnie Johnson - Mr. Johnson Swing (1938) lyrics

Want all you people to listen while my guitar sing.

I want all you people to listen while my guitar sing.

If you ain’t got that rhythm it don’t mean a thing.

Sing for me guitar! [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Yes, indeed, yes indeed … take it Mr. Piano Man! [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Ahh, beat it, beat it, beat it out! Thank you so much, so much. [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Some people thinks I’m dead because I been gone so long.

Some people thinks I’m dead because I been gone so long.

I justa stopped see would you miss me from singin’ these lonesome songs.

Yes indeed, it’s so good, it’s so good. [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

I want all you people to listen while I swing this song.

I want all you people to listen while I swing this song.

If you born with that rhythm honest, you can’t never go wrong.
