Alexander's Rag Time Band - Bessie Smith, Fletcher Henderson, James P. Johnson

Oh my honey

Oh my honey

You better hurry and let’s go down there

Ain’t you goin'?

Ain’t you goin'?

To that leaderman, ragged meter man

Oh honey

Oh honey

Let me take you to Alexander’s

Grand stand brass band

Ain’t you coming along?

Come on and hear

Come on and hear

Alexander’s ragtime band

Come on and hear

Come on and hear

It’s the best band in the land

They can play the bugle call like you’ve never heard before

Sounds so natural that you’ll wanna go to war

That’s just the best band in the land

Oh honey lamb

Come on along

Come on along

Let me take you by the hand

Up to the man

Up to the man

Who is the leader of the band

And if you care to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime

Come on and hear

Come on and hear

Alexander’s ragtime band

Come on and hear

Come on and hear

Alexander’s ragtime band

Come on and hear

Come on and hear

It’s the best band in the land

Listen to the bugle call

Just the best band in the land

Oh honey lamb

Come on along

Come on along

Let me take you by the hand

Up to the man

Up to the man

Who is the leader of the band

And if you care to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime

Come on and hear

Come on and hear

Alexander’s ragtime band
