When Johnson's Quartette Harmonize 1912

Johnson Jones from Tennessee,
Father of sweet harmony,
organized a quartette, goodness me!
And they sang so wonderful,
kindly let me tell you, when
it comes down to singing men,
I've just got to say again, they're wonderful!

Come on and hear that harmony sweet,
come and have a musical treat,
from your head down to your feet,
you'll be fairly hypnotized
they harmonize most any old place,
Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Bass,
ev'ry other chord
is a message from The Lord,
when you hear old Johnson's Quartette harmonise.

Come on and hear that harmony sweet,
come and have a musical treat,
from your head down to your feet,
you'll be fairly hypnotized
they harmonize most any old place,
Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Bass,
ev'ry other chord
is a message from The Lord,
when you hear old Johnson's Quartette harmonise.

When you find you can't afford
to be paying for your board,
you can find a meal in ev'ry chord,
and it's most remarkable,
no one found their equal yet,
to go out and try to get
men who sing like that Quartette,
Impossible!

Come on and hear that harmony sweet,
come and have a musical treat,
from your head down to your feet,
you'll be fairly hypnotized
they harmonize most any old place,
Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Bass,
ev'ry other chord
is a message from The Lord,
when you hear old Johnson's Quartette harmonise.

Come on and hear that harmony sweet,
come and have a musical treat,
from your head down to your feet,
you'll be fairly hypnotized
they harmonize most any old place,
Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Bass,
ev'ry other chord
is a message from The Lord,
when you hear old Johnson's Quartette harmonise.
