Lyrics

There was a boy, his name was Django
He loved Gypsy-jazz, swing and tango
He learned to play guitar, and he became a star
As he played the Roma melodies
Django grew up, in a caravan
A box their horse pulled ‘cross the land
They traveled though la France, il jouait pour la danse
La musique des ‘Romané’
And they would sing, and they would sing
You could hear their voices ring
 
Django practiced, till his fingers bled
He played his scales until he went to bed
His guitar was charmed, wrapped inside his arms
As he sang himself to sleep
Django became no ordinary man
If you heard him play, you would understand
He could make you cry, bring a tear to your eye
Or make you jump up to your feet
And they would sing, and they would sing
You could hear their voices ring
Now if you, play a guitar
Recorder, piano, sing in a choir
Come on and jam along, help us play this song
Open your heart, and let your fingers free
First hit G7, play with intention
Strum that F minor, raise the tension
Chug along in time… and stop on a dime
For the rubato melody
And they would sing, and they would sing
You could hear their voices ring
