Vibes Man

Vibes man in the alley
Play me your spitball serenade
And a deeper blue and you'll
Be playing in your grave
Save your notes, spend them on your blues
Boy help your darlin' yearlin' blues, boy
Hit the church note, ring it!
Vibes man sing the trashcan
Hear your junkman singing

Fish lady
Don't you bait those tenement walls
Don't take corner boys because
They're too easy
You were born black and blue
You didn't have to wait for
Somebody to hit you

Take my arm, I'll move with you down Broadway
Take my arm, oh honey
I'll walk with you down Broadway
I'm the young man and I'll be proud
And I can talk real loud
And I'm from out of town, too

Won't you come home with me
Won't you come home with me
But no, cause she won't take a train
Oh, she won't take that train
Oh, she won't take a train
Oh, she won't take that train
She won't take a train
Oh, she won't take that train
Oh, she won't take a train
Oh, she won't take that train
You won't take the train
She won't take the train

Cause she's afraid those tracks are
Gonna slow her down
And when she turns around
I'm gonna be gone like the?
