Song title: Vibes man
Vibes man - Version 1
Vibes man in the alley
Play me your spitball serenade
Any deeper blue and you'll be playing in your grave
Save your notes
Spend 'em on your blues boy
Help your darlin' yearlin' blues boy
Hit the church note, ring it
Vibes man, sting a trashcan
Hear your junkman [junk made ?] singing
Fish Lady, don't bait those tenement walks
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 a 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
No she won't take that train oh no
She won't take that train oh no
She won't take that train oh no
She won't take that train oh no
Oh she won't take that train
Lord she won't take that train
Oh she won't take that train oh no
She won't take that train
She won't take that train
'Cause she's afraid those tracks are gonna slow her down
And when she turns around I'm gonna be gone
Like the notes in any man's song Notes:
Early version of New York City serenade
Vibes man - Version 2
Vibes man in the alley, play me your spitball serenade
Any 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 the train
Oh she won't take that train
She won't take a train
Oh she won't take that train
She won't take a train
Oh no she won't take that train
Oh she won't take a train
Oh no she won't that that train
You won't take that 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 notes in this song Notes:
