lyrics

Sewing threadless through the loom
That needle plunge and fadeaway
Seven-stretch, July on asphalt
Two-wheeled homebound bedding down

Fifth of hillbred men of spirit
Lean disciples Willa loves
Swing the door, the bell rings, in he comes
And they know his order

No one’s dining alone tonight when
Babatunde slips you the bag
You glide into this golden contour booth
And wait for the ancient truth

Meditative in the smokestacks
Teepees Zildjians on the couch
Eight P.M., it’s six-stroke time
They’re calling book tunes at Imbibe

Timmy Vaughn is here to see you
Curtis King just wandered in
Broody-eyed and worse still, cat brought sticks
Players start to holler

No one’s dining alone tonight when
Babatunde slips you the bag
You glide into this golden contour booth
And wait for the ancient truth

If you’re the one, the buzz, cut it off
A friend to float you through the changes
Sails for greener swamps
Congo Square is where we got it all from, baby

If you’re the one, the buzz, cut it off
A friend to float you through the changes
Sails for greener swamps
Congo Square is where we got it all from, baby

Cafe closed for renovations
Closed for good, rent’s going up
