Yidcore - Minyan Man lyrics

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 pa**ed 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 pa**ed 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 pa**ed 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
