Sharon(Live) - David Bromberg

Sharon - David Bromberg
I was at this carnival just a few years ago
No big deal ferris wheel
The same ol' stuff you know
And I wandered around the grounds
Until I found this little tent
Man outside made a speech
And this is how it went
She walks she talks
She crawls on her belly like a reptile
It was the same ole line except for one part
Said you don't cost no money
You gotta pay with your heart
O sharon what do you do to these men
You know the same rowdy crowd
That was here last night is back again
Well I went inside looked around for a seat
Then the lights went low
And the drums played a beat
Then this girl came out
Dressed in a scarf and a sneeze
She did a little dance
That made me weak in the knees
She danced just like her back had no bones
While the band played a tune
They called the Main Street Moan
She went
And then she went
She went
And then she did a
She smiled a smile the whole world could see
And then She turned her head
And she looked straight at me
I must've jumped at least six feet in the air
And when I came down
That girl wasn't there
Oh Sharon what do you do to these men
You know the same rowdy crowd
That was here last night is back again
Then Out come this dude with curly red hair
He had a big bushy beard
And he looked like a bear
He said Yuh stop yer shoutin'
There's no more to the show
If you wanna breathe right
I think y'all better go
Well I didn't hung around
I headed straight for the door
But on my way out
I heard that big bear roar
O Sharon what do you do to these men
You know the same rowdy crowd
That was here last night is back again
Every night that the show played
I was right there
I stayed out off reach of that mean red bear
And it was Just like the man said
In his speech at the start
When that carnie left town
It took a piece of my heart
And I still get a funny feeling deep down in my bone
Every time I hear a band play
That Main Street Moan
O Sharon what do you do to these men
Every man
You know the same rowdy crowd
That was here last night is back again
