[1st verse:]
Down below the
Dixie line in Alabam'
Lived a lovin' piano player, Ephraham
'Cause he never took a
lesson
He had ev'rybody guessin'
How he played with such a lovin' tone
Any old piano
that he could annoy
Ephraham would call an instrument of joy
When it came to make a
piano
Cry out in a fancy manner
Ephraham was in a class
alone
[chorus:]
Ephraham played upon the piano
Ephraham, he had a great left
hand
Ephraham in his fancy manner
Made an upright sound like a "Baby
Grand"
[2nd verse:]
Any kind of music he could understand
Still he didn't play
by ear, he played by hand
When he started fishin'
For the tune that you'd been
wishin'
Ev'ry other good musician stepped aside
Ephraham was never known to lose his
head
I remember once a certain lady said
"Can you play a fiddle, Mister?"
He looked
up and answered, "Sister
I don't know because I never tried | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
