The Rise and Fall of Arthur Braithwaite
Word and Music by Carl Terry & William Atkinson © 2008
Verse 1:
Arthur Braithwaite he’s our man, travelled all across this land
And the people came from miles around just to hear his unique sound.
All the people in their crowds would dance and scream and wave and howl
When Arthur took to the stage
It was catharsis when he played
It’s the rise oh it’s the rise and fall
Chorus:
It’s the ri..hi..hi..hi..hise
It’s the rise and fall he’s no where to go
He’s coming home so get ready for the
ri..hi..hi..hi..hise
It’s the rise and fall he’s no where to go
He’s coming home so get ready for the
Verse 2:
In the crowd for many days a young man watch him on the stage
He studied hard and watched him play
And said one day I will be
Just as good as Arthur was, take his crown and put it on
And Arthur will not have a choice but to bow down to the new voice
Chorus:
It’s the ri..hi..hi..hi..hise
It’s the rise and fall he’s no where to go
He’s coming home so get ready for the
ri..hi..hi..hi..hise
It’s the rise and fall he’s no where to go
He’s coming home so get ready for the
Verse 3:
One day young man approached the stage and said to Arthur with some weight
I am better than you are, I challenge you at your art.
He asked the bassman to arbitrate but Arthur would not take the bait
He said young man my crown is yours, I see in you what I had before.
Chorus:
It’s the ri..hi..hi..hi..hise
It’s the rise and fall he’s no where to go
He’s coming home so get ready for the
ri..hi..hi..hi..hise
It’s the rise and fall he’s no where to go
He’s coming home so get ready for the
Verse 4:
Now Arthur he does not play, has not played for many a day
Young man he took his crown and now he plays to Arthur’s crowds
The fickle crowds will gather round but I won’t listen I won’t howl
‘Cause I remember how it was,
When Arthur Braithwaite was on top.
Chorus:
It’s the ri..hi..hi..hi..hise
It’s the rise and fall he’s no where to go
He’s coming home so get ready for the
ri..hi..hi..hi..hise
It’s the rise and fall he’s no where to go
He’s coming home so get ready for the
ri..hi..hi..hi..hise
It’s the rise and fall he’s no where to go
He’s coming home so get ready for the
