[00:01.424]
[00:13.179]On any southern afternoon
[00:16.836]If anyone would care to look
[00:20.728]A face appears inside a house
[00:24.516]A terrible face
[00:26.031]It is sexless and white
[00:28.330]It is dim
[00:29.531]Like the faces
[00:31.099]In dreams...
[00:34.390]It's Miss Amelia
[00:37.394]Waiting by the window
[00:39.850]Remembering the laughing
[00:42.775]In the cafe down below
[00:49.724]Once Miss Amelia
[00:51.553]Married a man
[00:53.172]She married Marvin Масу
[00:54.896]No one could understand
[00:56.516]She must have done it for the presents
[00:58.553]Cause she didn't like him much
[01:00.513]And even on their wedding night
[01:02.446]She wouldn't let him touch
[01:04.091]Well, he hung around the doorways
[01:06.129]Acting foolish with bliss
[01:08.114]Until he came too close one day
[01:10.126]She swung once with her fist
[01:11.771]Miss Amelia was a strong woman
[01:14.175]She was big and tall
[01:15.664]Swung once and Marvin Масу
[01:17.597]He fell against the wall
[01:21.593]Now Miss Amelia
[01:24.127]Is sitting by the shutters
[01:27.157]Remembering the laughing
[01:30.371]In the cafe long ago...
[01:38.756]After Marvin Масу
[01:40.219]Had long gone away
[01:41.969]A little hunchback came to town
[01:43.902]And this is strange to say
[01:45.913]That Miss Amelia who had never loved
[01:47.742]She fell in love with him
[01:49.466]He was a skipping little troublemaker
[01:51.634]Still she took him in
[01:54.064]And so they lived together
[01:57.695]And were happy for a time
[02:01.691]And everybody came around
[02:05.453]They'd drink and dine
[02:08.692]Miss Amelia made a whiskey
[02:12.140]It was fine and it was rare
[02:16.137]Would warm a man into his soul
[02:19.768]Show' the writing there
[02:28.676]Miss Amelia's story
[02:30.374]Is simple and sad
[02:32.568]Marvin Масу returned to town
[02:34.344]With all the evil that he had
[02:36.251]The skipping little hunchback
[02:38.106]He was quite impressed
[02:39.830]With Marvin Macy's history
[02:41.920]Of robbery and the rest
[02:43.801]I will not get specific
[02:45.708]Just let it now be said
[02:47.380]There was terrible fight one night
[02:49.365]Miss Amelia was ahead
[02:51.376]Until the little hunchback
[02:53.466]Jumped in on Marvin Macy's side
[02:59.866]Everybody all agreed
[03:03.419]That's the night the cafe died
[03:11.569]On any southern afternoon
[03:15.095]If anyone would care to look
[03:19.066]A face appears inside a house
[03:22.984]A terrible face
[03:24.369]It is sexless and white
[03:26.642]It is dim
[03:28.026]Like the faces
[03:29.620]In dreams...
[03:34.740]It's Miss Amelia
[03:37.273]Waiting by the window
[03:39.677]Remembering the laughing
[03:42.472]In the cafe down below
[03:46.181]It's Miss Amelia
[03:48.584]Sitting by the shutters
[03:51.406]Remembering the laughing
[03:54.201]In the cafe long ago...
[03:59.321]
