Me and Brother Bill - Louis Armstrong, His All-Stars

Well me and brother Bill went a huntin' away up in the hills of Maine

The reason why we went up there we thought we’d catch some gain

And as we were a huntin' away in the middle of the night

We shot somethin' that looked like a grizzly bear the doggone thing turned white

Well I dropped that gun and away I run

My brother Bill says boy what’s the matter with you

And he’d known like me he’d’ve ran some too

Well I’d ran so fast to say and they couldn’t catch me all day

Away I’d run cross that field they couldn’t catch me with an automobile

My brother Bill got so excited he commited shootin' at me

I heard those bullets sizzlin' all among those trees

I was runnin' so fast that night my feet wasn’t touchin' the ground

I heard a little tailbird in the tree singing he’s Alabamy bound

Well I’m goin' home I’m all alone

My brother Bill says boy what’s the matter with you

And he’d known like me he’d’ve cut out too

Well I run so fast to say and they couldn’t catch me all day

Away I run cross that field they couldn’t catch me with an automobile

No they couldn’t catch me with an automobile
