The Ballad of Fannie Lou: Part 1 Wynton Marsalis

Fannie Lou was born
In a fertile land
Oh, Fannie Lou came up
Workin’ harder than any man
And when they dropped down
Fannie, Fannie she would stand

She could see
‘Round Saturn’s rings
And she heard
Songs that the angels sing
When she spoke
Every word had wings

Fannie, Fannie
Oh, sweet Fannie Lou

I’m a Southern boy
From a Southern town
I used to see Fannie
Well she used to be around
Boy, she was something
Something touch you
Way deep down

Oh, Fannie Lou
With your eyes so clear
Voice so strong
