I'm sorry that Cutchullian chose to remove the phrase

" you can pass my gate, you can pass my door, but you can't get past this fourty-four."

which I included to give a taste of the song.

It is found in several forms in quite a few versions. I will not put it back for fear of upsetting him. Maybe he can find a full representative version of the lyric to include.

What is the evidence that Buddy Bolden used the tune ? 82.47.176.254 22:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)mikeL

I only removed it because it doesn't appear in all versions. As for a full version of the lyrics, Wikipedia doesn't generally do that, though there is a sister project called Wikisource that does. I don't know the evidence for Buddy Bolden using it, I didn't put it in, but a quick Google search reveals he seems to be associated with it.--Cúchullain ^t/c 00:04, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

A good number of musicians and some music going regulars with first hand memories of Bolden were on record as saying it was one of the standards of the Bolden repertory. I know its appeared in print a few times but would have to check for which books. -- Infrogmation 00:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I suggest for the lyics just include versions from 1922 or before, so as to be sure they have no copyright problems. -- Infrogmation 00:16, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the big improvement Ortolan88 82.47.176.254 15:57, 3 October 2006 (UTC)mikeL

Would it be considered appropriate to include the lyrics used by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, since they are widely available and one of the more famous versions of the song? They also include the "fourty-four" line, along with a good deal of other firearms references, including one to a thirty-ought-six that I have just found misquoted all over the Internet as "thirty-old-six"--whatever that might mean.

Those more recent recordings are presumably not public domain. Mentioning significant variations would probably be okay, but don't reproduce anything in full or substantial part if it is still under copyright. -- Infrogmation 01:36, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
