Lyrics
Chorus
He just plays chords
That make you feel grand
They call him Sam, the old accordion man
His dreamy chords remind you of Heaven
And they’re real chords
According to Dixieland
In the evening by the moonlight
When the sun is gone down
How those lovers, levee lovers
Love to hang around
He plays those chords like nobody can
They call him Sam, the old accordion man
Patter
Old chords, new chords, funny old blue chords
Morning, night and noon
Say! he’s got chords, nothing but hot chords
Never out of tune
Performance
