Sundays was better than other days |
|
Mondays through |
|
SaturdaysSundays we danced like there's no tomorrow |
|
Duke (Ellington) played piano in |
|
Storyville |
|
We sang the |
|
Blues round midnight until. . . |
|
The sun came up and we'd improvise |
|
Congo Square on a dope patoi, |
|
Congo Square on a dope patoi |
|
Congo Square on a dope patoi, all eyes open on |
|
Yeshua (Jesus) |
|
Lester (Young) was there, so was |
|
Ms. BaduLouie (Armstrong) played turmpet on |
|
West End Blues |
|
Ain't that |
|
Jill Scott with my sweet |
|
Aunt Nancy (Wilson) |
|
Sassy (Sarah Vaughn) and |
|
Ella (Fitzgerald) start scattin' now |
|
They start a frenzy there in the crowd |
|
Sistahs has always been so resilient |
|
Congo Square on a dope patoi, |
|
Congo Square on a dope patoi |
|
Congo Square on a dope patoi, all eyes open on |
|
Yeshua (Jesus) |
|
Ain't no filet gumbo babe without the rue |
|
Ain't no joyous feelings without payin' dues |
|
I'm gonna tie my pink bandana on' |
|
Cause what don't kill me make me strong |
|
Sing my Billie (Holiday) "Strange Fruit" song |
|
And dig my roots up. . . |
|
Congo Square(Dig this man) |
|
Sundays was really the only days |
|
That took the place of the lonely days |
|
Sundays we looked to the new horizions |
|
I see the light at the end of the tunnel sir |
|
Jazz and Blues born of the slave gospel |
|
Black angels pick the white fiels of cotton |
|
Congo Square on a dope patoi, |
|
Congo Square on a dope patoi |
|
Congo Square on a dope patoi, all eyes open on |
|
Yeshua (Jesus) |
|
Ain't no filet gumbo babe without the rue |
|
Ain't no joyous feelings without payin' dues |
|
I'm gonna tie my pink bandana on' |
|
Cause what don't kill me make me strong |
|
Sing my Billie (Holiday) "Strange Fruit" song |
|
And dig my roots up. . . |
|
Congo Square. . . |
|
Congo Square |
|
Congo Square. . . |
|
Congo Square(Party 'til the sun come up)(Play that piano man) |
