Congo Square歌词
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 **** patoi,
Congo Square on a **** patoi
Congo Square on a **** 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 **** patoi,
Congo Square on a **** patoi
Congo Square on a **** 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 **** patoi,
Congo Square on a **** patoi
Congo Square on a **** 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)
