Hard Swing Travellin' Man - Brenda Boykin

Lyrics by：Brenda Boykin

Composed by：Brenda Boykin/Kitty The Bill

He don't like that modern music

Like to groove a little bit

He's a hard swing travelling man

See that man with the saxophone

Saxophone in his hand

Everybody knows he's the real thing

Hard swing travelling man

Mrs Jack Daniels is his personal friend

She shoots poker and always wins

He's a heartbreaker

Pretty young waitress knows him by name

Gives him a smile and falls for his game

He's a lovemaker

He's a hard swing hard swing travelling man

He's a hard swing hard swing travelling man

Hard bop bebop confirmation red top

Hard swing travelling man

East Coast old school anything but jazz cool

Hard swing travelling man

England Cuba and Japan

Played his horn in every land

He's a heartbreaker

Got a lover everywhere

To make him welcome when he's there

Lovemaker

He's a hard swing hard swing travelling man

He's a hard swing hard swing travelling man

Jazz jam session blowing his horn

Came up on the stage

Plays from the soul he's natural born

Reading from no page

Stingy brim and shiny shoes

Uptown jazz and lowdown blues

Lovemaker

Ponytail is turning grey

He's still talking 'bout the days

Heartbreaker

Got a little girl in every town

And he never sticks around

Heartbreaker

Mama's baby daddy's maybe

Conversating with the ladies

What a lovemaker

Hard swing travelling hard swing travelling man

Hard swing travelling hard swing travelling man

Hard swing travelling hard swing travelling man

Hard swing travelling hard swing travelling man

He's a hard swing travelling man

Oh yeah

He's a hard yeah hard swing travelling man

Hey yeah

Got a little girl in every town

But he never sticks around

Heartbreaker

Mama's baby daddy's maybe

Conversating with the ladies

Lovemaker
