I'd Do It Again Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

A one man band on a one night stand 

As a one man band should be 

The cried for more, he replied why sure 

And he played one just for free 

The sounds he laid down. the songs he played 

Made the ladies all come to call 

He was born in the back of a Seminole bus 

On the road to Niagara Falls 

I'd do it again 

I'd do it again 

I'd do it again 

The one man band philosophical man 

Didn't lie when he said to us 

I seen the high rollers come and go 

It's the holy rollers I trust 

The man said then he was sixteen when 

He retired from the county school 

A wee bit thin with a will to begin 

He was known to be know man's fool 

I'd do it again 

I'd do it again 

I'd do it again 

The one man band was a mighty good man 

Cause he played 'til the break of dawn 

He ups and downs about four more rounds 

And he stayed 'til the crowd went home 

It seemed to me like he never could be 

Like anything I'd ever seen before 

When he stepped from the stage with his ax in his hand 

And he run through the backstage door 

I'd do it again 

I'd do it again 

I'd do it again 

A one man band on a one night stand 

As a one man band should be 

They cried for more, he replied why sure 

And he played one just for free
