Mr. Buddy - Jon Batiste

Mr. Buddy was someone who never steered me wrong

He was always singing the good song

Even when some folks would hiss and jeer, he wouldn’t give

He was always gonna be him

As the years went by, he didn’t need a pass of kin

He was in the family by then

On the railroad tracks, he’d skip a stone and we’d pretend

That the moment we were in would never end

Even though I knew that Buddy wouldn’t always be

I still have my buddy here with me

Mr. Buddy was someone who never steered you wrong

And I will always sing his song
