Louis Armstrong - Brother Bill Live At The Crescendo Club 1955 Lyrics

[Spoken intro]
And here's one coming up called Me and Brother Bill Went Huntin'

[Verse 1]
Me and brother Bill went huntin'
Way in the Eastern Maine
The reason why we went up there
We thought we'd catch some game
As we were a huntin'
Way in the middle of the night
We shot at somethin' looked like a grizzly bear
The doggone thing turned white

I said to my brother
Come on and let's go home
He said now if you're going to the house
You have to go alone
As we were a huntin'
It commenced to risin' up high
I looked toward my house
And I didn't even say goodbye

[Chorus]
I dropped that gun and away I run
Brother Bill says boy what's the matter with you
Had he known like me, he'd've ran some too
I run so fast to say till couldn't catch me all day
The way I run across that field
No, you couldn't catch me with an automobile
Second spasm, second spasm

[Verse 2]
Brother Bill got so excited (What did he do?)
He commenced shootin' at me
I heard those bullets sizzlin'
All among those trees
I was runnin' so fast that night
My feet wasn draggin' the ground
I heard a little jailbird in the tree
Swing he's Alabamy bound

Passed right by my house
I didn't have time to knock
I passed right by a good crap game
I didn't have time to stop
I passed right by a gin mill
Stopped in to get a little gin
And I didn't have time to pay for it
And I had to start runnin' again

[Chorus]
I'm goin' home, I'm all alone
Brother Bill say boy what's the matter with you
Had he known like me, would have cut out too
I run so fast to say until they couldn't catch me all day
The way I run across that field
(Scat) Ah watch your language, boy, watch your language there
(Scat) Yes, you couldn't catch me, you couldn't catch me
No, you couldn't catch me with an automobile
Ah ha ha
Thank you, folks
