James Taylor - One Man Parade Lyrics
Do believe I'm gonna clap my hands, think I might tap my feet.
Put together a one-man band, take a walk on down the street.
Have a one-man parade, nobody needs to know.
Cause I'm right good of holding on to secrets and don't believe they show.
Taking a breeze just as free as you please, maybe checking out occasional garbage cans.
Talking bout a one dog, y'all, nobody's friend but mine.
Hey now, you can say he's looking kind of funky, but I do believe he suits me just fine.
We were on the road again, I was wondering what to do,
but Honalei, it was pouring down rain, baby she had the low down blues.
Hey now, I was looking for my walking cane tying on my highway shoes.
Thinking 'bout a one man parade, y'all, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, hey.
I'm right good at holding on, holding on, holding on.
Honalei, it's raining. Honalei, sure nough, it's raining, listen here.
Honalei, it's raining, Honalei, it's raining muddy waters.
Thinking 'bout a one man parade, y'all, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, hey.
I'm right good at holding on, holding on, holding on.
La la la la la...

James Taylor One Man Parade Comments
Who is the bass player.... Leland?
So fresh! So good! This does not age (like all of JT's songs). And this little Cuban twist... ahhh... so cool.
To me the best album of James Taylor
same here, hands down
This whole album is underrated . . . IMO probably wears best of all. What, maybe 20 songs on this and partly recorded at the studio in his house out in the woods? Come on! People sure missed the boat on this one.
Underrated? Criminally so. I remember upon release critics didn't warm up to this album. Recently looking at OMD's Wiki page I found the handful of reviews were not positive. Why this album is not rediscovered and re-examined is incomprehensible. On it's own the song sequence on side 2 is remarkable, let alone the rest. Why is this album not liked?
some people are snobs. this man has skills, period
hi, only one comment for this song? Hm. This is one of the best songs, IMHO.
My husband never had this album but says ANYTHING by JT is Golden. He particularly appreciates Lee Sklar's work on anything out there. "Good early stuff," my husband says.
