I listened to this song on Spotify and transcribed this:


GOOD TIME FEELING
Written by Jerry Kasenetz / Jeff Katz / M. Wooley
As sung by The Music Explosion on the album "Little Bit o' Soul: The Best of the Music Explosion" (2009)

1. I was walkin' down the Barrow* with my hat in my hands
When I heard the good-time sound of a jug-music band.
[I] Spied a little girl looking pretty and fine.
With the help of jug-band music, I knew she'd be mine.

2. The wail of her harmonica, it sounded so sweet.
I got the good-time feeling right down in my feet.
That mama was shouting out the rhythm and blues.
I got the good-time feeling right down in my shoes.

3. Well, we danced on the sidewalk and we danced in the street.
We sat and clapped our hands to the jug-music beat.
We kissed a little bit; oh, I held her so tight.
We listened to the jug-band music all through the night.

4. My little girl was taken by a guitar man
'Cause she liked the way he played in the jug-music band.
First I kind of heard her** made me feel kind of sad.
When I heard the jug-band music I just couldn't feel bad.

[REPEAT #2]


[* This is a guess. I assume it is the name of a street or a district in some city.

[** "First I kind of heard her" is what it sounds like, but that doesn't make much sense. If I wanted to sing this song, I would sing, "The first time that I heard her..."]
