Long Hard Journey Home

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"
