Aunt Hagar's Blues Lyrics - Louis Armstrong

Old Deacon Splivin, his flock was givin' the way of livin' right, yes 

Said he, "No wingin', no ragtime singin', tonight", yes 

Up jumped Aunt Hagar and shouted out with all her might 

All her might 

She said, "Oh, tain't no use to preachin' 

Oh, tain't no use to teachin', each modulation of syncopation 

Just tells my feet to dance and I can't refuse 

When I hear the melody they call the blues, those ever lovin' blues 

Just hear Aunt Hagar's children harmonizin' to that old mournful tune 

It's a-like choir from on high broke loose, amen 

If the Devil brought it, the good Lord sent it right down to me 

Let the congregation join while I sing those lovin' Aunt Hagar's blues
