            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 'Say that boy's a wonderment' 
'No! the kid's a freak' 
But that kid he don't care none 
His black hands resting on the keys 
Hoppin' like a big old frog 
And hissin' like a train 
Entertaining royalty 
All points east, west and in-between 
General he's a fine old man 
Treat him like his own 
'Boy wouldn't know from money' 
Just throw old blind tom a bone 
From the times of king cotton 
May we present to you 
All you jim crow monkeys 
From harlan county down to tuscaloo 
Pay me anything you like 
I'll pay it back to you 
Be careful what you call me though 
Some things cut clear on through 
I may be an idiot 
I may be a savant 
I didn't choose this life for me 
But it's something that I want 
Cocks that old big head aside 
Grunts a word or two 
Keeps 'em guessin' every night 
Is he really gonna make it through 
Faint hearts with their fans out 
Starched collars and cigars 
He weren't no use for slavin' 
'I wouldn't want him in my yard' 
[Chorus x2]
