Текст песни Misc Unsigned Bands - Ames Brothers - Washington Square

Washington Square:The Ames Brothers.
#129 on BB Hot 100 on Epic Records
in 1963.

#1.
From Cape Cod Light to the Mississip', to San 
Francisco Bay.
They're talkin' 'bout this famous place, down 
Greenwich Village way.
They hootenanny all the time with folks from 
everywhere.
Come Sunday morning, rain or shine, right in 
Washington Square.

#2.
And so I got my banjo out, just sitting, catching dust.
And painted right across the case, 'Greenwich Village 

or Bust!'
My folks were sad to see me go, but I got no meaning there.
So, I said, goodbye, Kansas, Mo. and hello, Washington 
Square.

#3.
Near Tennessee, I met a guy who played 12-string guitar.
He also had a mighty voice, not to mention a car.
Each time he hit those bluegrass chords, you sure smelled 
mountain air.
I  said, don't waste it on the wind, come on to Washington 
Square.

#4.
In New Orleans, we saw a gal a-walkin' with no shoes.
And from her throat there comes a growl, she sure was singin' 

the blues.
She sang for all humanity, this gal with raven hair.
I said, it's for the world to hear, Come to Washington 
Square.

#5.
We  cannonballed into New York on good old US 1.
Til up ahead we saw the arch, a-gleamin' bright in the sun.
As far as all the eye could see, ten thousand folks were there.
And singing in sweet harm-ony, right in Washington Square.

Let's go to Washington Square..come on to Washington Square..(Fade.)

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
