About

About Mississippi John Hurt, a pre-depression folk singer who re-emerged in 1963 and gained a following in the last few years of his life, during which time he played at the gaslight along with Paxton and others such as Bob Dylan.

His musical style inspired Paxton’s own “Bottle of Wine”

Did you hear John Hurt Lyrics

It was a frosty night
It was beginning to snow
And down the city streets
The wind began to blow
We all came to the cellar
We all emptied the bar
To hear a little fella
Play a shiny guitar

Did you hear John Hurt
Play the Creole Belle
The Spanish Fandango
That he loved so well
And did you love John Hurt
Did you shake his hand
Did you hear him
Sing his Candy Man
Did you hear him
Singing his Candy Man

On a straight back chair
With his felt hat on
He tickled our fancies
With his Avalon
And everyone passing
Down on MacDougal Street
Cocked their heads and listened
To the tappin' feet

Did you hear John Hurt
Play the Creole Belle
The Spanish Fandango
That he loved so well
Did you love John Hurt
Did you shake his hand
Did you hear him
Sing his Candy Man
Did you hear him
Singing his Candy Man
My Creole belle, love her well
My darling baby, my Creole Belle
The stars do shine, then she'll be mine
My darling baby, my Creole Belle

It was a frosty night
It was beginning to snow
And down the city streets
The wind began to blow
We all came to the cellar
We all emptied the bar
To hear a little fella
Play a shiny guitar

Did you hear John Hurt
Play the Creole Belle
The Spanish Fandango
That he loved so well
And did you love John Hurt
Did you shake his hand
Did you hear him
Sing his Candy Man
Did you hear him
Sing his Candy Man
