Did you ever hear the story
of the Dixieland Band?
A
D
Let me tell you, brother,
G
that the music was grand.
They had piano and a clarinet.
D
The only thing they needed
B
was a second cornet.
E

D
And that's what led to the ruin,
B
D
the ruin of the Dixieland Band.
When the folks would holler
for the maple leaf rag,
A
D
they would get to swinging
but the trumpet would drag.
G
They had to keep him
cause he played so sweet,
D
but they needed someone
B
who could give him the beat
Em
B
Someone who swung with the rhythm,
D
the rhythm of the Dixieland men

so they couldn't play right

D
Finally he fixed them
on a Saturday night
G
He hit a figure that was off the court
D
Apoplexy got him and
B
he went to the Lord
E
B
And that's the pitiful story,
E
D
story of the Dixieland Band
Now they're up in heaven
and they're happy at last
Cause they found a trumpet man
who really can blast
G
The way he swings them is an awful shame
D
B
He can really do it, Gabriel is his name
E

Now folks, here is a sample
