  • On any southern afternoon
    If anyone would care to look
    A face appears inside a house
    A terrible face
    It is sexless and white
    It is dim
    Like the faces
    In dreams...
    It's Miss Amelia
    Waiting by the window
    Remembering the laughing
    In the cafe down below
    Once Miss Amelia
    Married a man
    She married Marvin Масу
    No one could understand
    She must have done it for the presents
    Cause she didn't like him much
    And even on their wedding night
    She wouldn't let him touch
    Well, he hung around the doorways
    Acting foolish with bliss
    Until he came too close one day
    She swung once with her fist
    Miss Amelia was a strong woman
    She was big and tall
    Swung once and Marvin Масу
    He fell against the wall
    Now Miss Amelia
    Is sitting by the shutters
    Remembering the laughing
    In the cafe long ago...
    After Marvin Масу
    Had long gone away
    A little hunchback came to town
    And this is strange to say
    That Miss Amelia who had never loved
    She fell in love with him
    He was a skipping little troublemaker
    Still she took him in
    And so they lived together
    And were happy for a time
    And everybody came around
    They'd drink and dine
    Miss Amelia made a whiskey
    It was fine and it was rare
    Would warm a man into his soul
    Show' the writing there
    Miss Amelia's story
    Is simple and sad
    Marvin Масу returned to town
    With all the evil that he had
    The skipping little hunchback
    He was quite impressed
    With Marvin Macy's history
    Of robbery and the rest
    I will not get specific
    Just let it now be said
    There was terrible fight one night
    Miss Amelia was ahead
    Until the little hunchback
    Jumped in on Marvin Macy's side
    Everybody all agreed
    That's the night the cafe died
    On any southern afternoon
    If anyone would care to look
    A face appears inside a house
    A terrible face
    It is sexless and white
    It is dim
    Like the faces
    In dreams...
    It's Miss Amelia
    Waiting by the window
    Remembering the laughing
    In the cafe down below
    It's Miss Amelia
    Sitting by the shutters
    Remembering the laughing
    In the cafe long ago...
