This is a song I learned so long ago that I've forgotten some of the lines. This is what I remember..

I thought I heard Buddy Bolden say
It's nasty but, funky but, take it away
It's nasty but, funky but, take it away
I thought I heard him say

I thought I heard Buddy Bolden shout
Open up the window let the bad air out
Open up the window let the bad air out
I thought I heard him shout

Those are all the words I ever heard. Now, being a songwriter, I could make up more lines..

I thought I heard Buddy Bolden proclaim
Better close the window cause it looks like rain

or

I thought I heard Buddy Bolden expound
Close that stupid window, you want we all should drownd?

But I'd rather not. Anybody hear other words?

I'd be beholden
