I Met Him In A Bar
Lyrics By JR Rich
Music By Robert Thomson

I met him in a bar down in Dixieland
Playing in the frontline of a trad jazz band
Listening to his music, I felt I understood the man

V2:
I met him in a bar where the lights were low
His playing was so smooth it really stole the show
Left me with the feeling there was nothing more to know

Chorus:
Now those old ragtime blues and French quadrille
Upright bass, 4-to-the-bar, have such soul appeal

V3:
I met him in a bar somewhere deep downtown
The venue rocked and swung with that New Orleans sound
For my happy money it was the hippest place around

V4:
I met him in a bar full of other guys
But none with his ability to improvise
Throughout the ensemble he locked right into my eyes
V5:
I met him in a bar down in Dixieland
Playing in the frontline of a trad jazz band
I listened to his music and felt I understood the man

V6:
I met him in a bar where the lights were low
His playing was so smooth it really stole the show
Left me with the feeling there was nowhere else to go

Chorus:
Now those old ragtime blues and French quadrille
Upright bass, 4-to-the-bar, have such soul appeal

V7:
I met him in a bar on a weekend night
I tuned into his rhythms and they felt so right
All the guys around him faded clean right out of sight
