(Instrumental Intro)
(Verse 1)
Listen to my story and Iâll tell you bout my friend
Plays the best harmonica and will love you to the end
Heâs travelled all the highways from New York to Vancouver Bay
Born in a Georgia shack heâs in San Francisco today
So listen to what I say
Whoâs that man singing that song?
Whoâs that man singing that song?
Whoâs that man? Tell me whoâs that man?
Think itâs J.C. and everybody singing along
(Verse 2)
Well J.C. is sittinâ out there on Grand Street
Ainât got much money and he ainât got that much to eat
Well all you rich people passing by his feet
You make J.C. so sad sometime that he donât know how to sleep
I remember them lonely nights would sit and hear J.C. play
xxx all crouched in a xxx
Laughing and crying and stomping our feet
Till a lamb once said move on get out my children are asleep
Whoâs blowing them blues? Tell me brother
Whoâs blowing them blues? Tell me sister
Whoâs blowing them blues? Itâs the man you all abuse
I think itâs J.C. on his ole harmonica
(Verse 3)
Well J.C. said one day Iâm gonna tell you bout my shoes
They walked the xxx and a xxx too
Trying to earn a livinâ and tryinâ away the blues
Them souls is getting thinned out and I guess mine is too
Look in his eyes a friend look at his hands
Seen a lot of livinâ and touched a lot of land
If you donât bleed heâs breathinâ in a life
And you better watch yourself when heâs doing the old hand jive
Whoâs that man singing that song?
Whoâs that man singing that song?
Whoâs that man? Tell me whoâs that man?
I think it was J.C. and I think that he went home
