I Dreamed I Saw Professor Longhair
Way Up In the Clouds
Smiling Down On the Carnival
Smile So Tender and Proud
Saying "Keep On Playing Children
Keep On Playing Children
Keep On Playing Children
It's a Long Hard Journey Home
It's a Long Hard Journey Home"
I Dreamed I Saw Professor Longhair
In The Heavens High Above
Smiling Down On the Festival
Smile So Full Of Love
Saying "Keep On Playing Children
Keep On Playing Children
Keep On Playing Children
It's a Long Hard Journey Home
It's a Long Hard Journey Home"
I Woke Up From My Dream
With a Cry and a Start
Though Mr. Byrd Has Flown Away
He's Always Singing In My Heart
Saying "Keep On Playing Children
Keep On Playing Children
Keep On Playing Children
It's a Long Hard Journey Home
It's a Long Hard Journey Home"
I dreamed I saw Professor Longhair
Way up in the clouds
Smiling down on this old earth
A smile so tender and proud
Saying "Keep On Playing Children
Keep On Playing Children
Keep On Playing Children
It's a Long Hard Journey Home
It's a Long Hard Journey Home"
