GUEST,barry Lyr Req: Ragtime Millionaire (William Moore) (10) RE: LYRICS: RAGTIME MILLIONAIRE BY WILLIAM MOORE 14 Dec 03


For the first verse I get,

"Mr Henry gonna send me a Ford each month
Everybody else gonna take my dust"

The rest sounds right to me. This can be done in C but I believe he plays it in the key of A. That bouncy 6th is so neat, also of course heard in Candyman, Jambalaya, Mourning Blues, and many versions of Hesitation blues.

Wish he'd recorded a lot more...

Barry
