Patrick Sky - Mahogany Row lyrics

Have you ever been down on the back side of town Where none of the queens ever wear a crown You might find some faces down there that you know In a place that the boys call, "Mahogany Row" Well, yonder's a stairway, yonder's a door Many a stranger has been there before Year after year, they come and they go They never stay long on Mahogany Row Well, the streets they are dusty, the houses are old Their's is a story that has often been told Don't look for tables or chairs if you go The furniture is different on Mahogany Row Back up in the city and away from the smells Young sports are dating society belles Maybe it's "yes", and maybe it's "no" We might change our luck on Mahogany Row Well, yonder's a girl cute as you've seen Small as a minute, and maybe fifteen Well, one wise guy chuckles, and another says, "'Lo" She has been down on Mahogany Row Well the doctor man comes, the doctor man goes Soon you'll be seein' some new little clothes Strung on the line for the breezes to blow Behind a house on Mahogany Row Won't you come to the meat market and get your fresh ham It ain't been inspected by old Uncle Sam But some of the nicest of people you know Are gettin' their cut from Mahogany Row When it's time for elections, let's have a show And it's off to the jail with a dozen or so When jobs they are scarce, and the wages are low More talent comes to Mahogany Row
