Picture of Big Walter Horton

 Picture of Big Walter Horton

Lookin like a bird
rockin back and forth

Flaps his arms as he blows his harp
lookin out cross eyed over a hawk nose
His harp sing Like a bird

Walter at twelve was playin in Handy Park
Recorded with the Memphis Jug Band
in a hotel room in the '30s
had a hit with Sun Records in the '50s
and hit Chicago

Birdlike rockin
he played a whoopin harp
and he was only one in the same league as 
Little Walter

Could blow your mind
the nights he felt like it.
