Doris Day Sam, the Old Accordion Man song lyrics

In Dixieland,

There's a musical man,

He has a good time

Just making folks happy,

This musical man Is a one man band,

Folks have to love him

For makin' them glad.

He don't play melodies

Just plays blue harmonies

Just like nobody ever had.

He just plays chords,

that make you feel grand,

They call him Sam, the old accordion man.

His dreamy chords remind you of Heav'n

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.

Old chords, new chords

Funny or blue chords

Mornin', night or noon

Say he's got chords

Nothing but hot chords

Never out of tune

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, Sam, Sam!

The old accordion man.
