Yidcore - Minyan Man lyrics

rate me

I stepped off the bus in Mobile, Alabama

The sun was slowly setting on the bay

It was six o'clock on a simmer Friday Afternoon

Shabbos was an hour away

I walked around the town wondering what to do

Cause Shabbos is no time to be feeling blue

And then I saw a man who looked the same way too

I was quite relieved to find a fellow Punk Rock Jew

I asked the man I saw how many Jews in this town

He said to me there used to be a Minyan around

But one of us passed away and we've been feeling down

Yet now it seems as though another Jew has been found

Won't you stay with us for Shabbos Minyan Man

We walked down Winston Avenue a block then two more

And went into a shop that read closed on the door

There was a Minyan in the back of a Hardware store

Nine men waiting for one more

We ushered in the Shabbos with a beautiful song

The Chazan had a voice that was clear and strong

We sang out as one all Shabbos long

Then Maariv came again I had to be moving on

I asked the man I saw how many Jews in this town

He said to me there used to be a Minyan around

But one of us passed away and we've been feeling down

Yet now it seems as though another Jew has been found

Won't you stay with us for Shabbos Minyan Man

LET'S GO

Now that was twenty years ago and the vision is clear

And I think about it every now and then cause the place is still dear

And when I make this trip through Mobile once every year

I remember the men who prayed here

Now the Minyan is gone a few died some moved on

But the back of this store still remembers this song

The nine men who waited the one came along

How Shabbos was carried on a song

I asked the man I saw how many Jews in this town

He said to me there used to be a Minyan around

But one of us passed away and we've been feeling down

Yet now it seems as though another Jew has been found

Won't you stay with us for Shabbos Minyan Man

Oh won't you say with us for Shabbos Minyan Man

Please won't you sya with us for Shabbos Minyan Man
