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...
