Shlock Rock ft. The Maccabeats - Minyan Man

I asked a man I saw how many Jews in this town He said to me there used to be a Minyan around But one of us passed away and we've been feeling down Yet now it seems as though another Jew has been found Won't you stay with us for Shabbas, Minyan Man I stepped off a bus in Mobile, Alabama The sun was slowly setting on the bay It was six o'clock on a summer Friday afternoon, Shabbas was an hour away I walked around the town wondering what to do Cause Shabbas is no time to be feeling blue Then I saw a man who looked the same way too I was quite relieved to find the fellow Jew I asked a man I saw how many Jews in this town He said to me there used to be a Minyan around But one of us passed away and we've been feeling down Yet now it seems as though another Jew has been found Won't you stay with us for Shabbas, Minyan Man We walked down Winston Avenue a block then two more We went into a shop that read closed on the door There was a minyan in the back of a hardware store Nine men waiting for one more We ushered in the Shabbas with a beautiful song The Hazam had a voice that was clear and strong We sang out as one all Shabbas long The Maariv came again, I had to be moving on I asked a man I saw how many Jews in this town He said to me there used to be a Minyan around But one of us passed away and we've been feeling down Yet now it seems as though another Jew has been found Won't you stay with us for Shabbas, Minyan Man Now that was twenty years ago, and the vision is clear And I think about it every now and then cause the place is still dear And when I make this trip through Mobile once every year, I remember the men who prayed here Now the Minyan is gone, a few died, some moved one But the back of the store still remembers the song The nine men who waited till one came along How Shabbas was carried on a song I asked a man I saw how many Jews in this town He said to me there used to be a Minyan around But one of us passed away and we've been feeling down Yet now it seems as though another Jew has been found Won't you stay with us for Shabbas, Minyan Man Oh, won't you stay with us for Shabbas, Minyan Man Please, won't you stay with us for Shabbas, Minyan Man
