Introduction To Mahogany Hall Stomp(2001 Satchmo Version)

歌詞

(Alan Paul & Edwin Morris) Verse 1 Folks are stompin' at Mahogany Hall tonight So let me tell you 'bout this house of shame That the folks they talk and hush about Yeah.. little old hang where folks they muss all about I'm sayin it's a place of ill repute I would just stay away, if I were you Stay away, stay away, keep a stayin' away Verse 2 Yeah man, if you feel that lovin' is what you're all about Go find a wife that you can love, truly love Then the lord above will bless and watch over you Hear what I'm sayin' 'cause it's the truth So don't you meddlin' around Yeh yeh yeh...yeh, yeh yeh yeh yeh Ooh...yeh yeh yeh yeh Ooh... Chorus 1 When that urge to stomp, and romp in hay Hits you like a bull in a shop with the fire and a flame and a rage That's when the devil, he comes to play So you be wise and don't give in to his little lies that lead to sin To be victorious, take the glorious jump Far away from him Verse 3 I don't believe this house right here Is a place of sin that all you folks wanna gab about Hear the music and the love that's spurrin' from a joy We feel that we don't have to hide Verse 4 Now I must concur with all this sister's been sayin' Because I get back so much love, more than from prayin' Never been akin to confessin' much But Lord knows this house it moves and thrills me Verse 5 That's right! How can you know what's missin' when you've never Known the bliss that keeps a riding deep within my soul Yeh, those babes they move me There's stompin' and moves and turns all night Rollin' till break of dawn Now we know the Lord above in Heaven We don't believe all the things you say You gotta dig it another way Can see all through you folks better than we can A little rhythm will rock your soul A little lovin' will make you whole But the Good Book says roll your spirit up high... Come on and give in to what we're sayin' Go... rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', goin', goin', goin', goin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', goin', goin', goin', goin', HIGH... Heed these words and just Stop that sinnin' No! Scratch is winnin' No! Don't be playin' No! Start your prayin' No! The Lord's waitin' No! For you so... Shout chorus Stop that stompin' change your story (come on) We're stompin' to rhythm (roll on) That's keepin' us livin' Don't be messin' with the glory that's waiting for you (go on) No evil will find us (roll on) The Lord is behind us (and on) So roll with the music then... roll on, roll on, roll on, roll on, Old scratch will never have his way again (come on) Don't bother us (roll on) let spirit just reach in He will never bother you with all that sin... (on and on) Good lovin' will free you (roll on) And lighten what you do RIP away the chains that confine you (come on) Come join in our party Ther's nothing more I think we've said it Ther's nothing more I think we've said it That's the story of Mahogany Hall Tonight That's the story of Mahogany Hall Tonight
