Sharon
Composer(s): David Bromberg
First release by: David Bromberg - 1972
Went to this carnival, three years ago
No big deal, ferris wheel, the same ole' stuff you know
There was a man outside with a speech outside a tent
And he said it to me, and this is how it went
Folks, you know she walks, she talks
She crawls on her belly like a reptile
Same ole' line except one part
You don't need no money, boy, you pay with your heart
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again
Wandered around, and looked around for a seat
The light went low, and the band played a beat
Out came this girl, wearing a scarf and sleeves
Did a little dance that made me weak in the knees
That girl, she danced like her back had no bone
The band played a tune called the Main Street Moan
She smiled a smile the whole world could see
She turned around, and she looked right at me
I must have jumped 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
Out came this guy with a big ole' beard
And furry arms, man he looked like a bear
He said that all there is, there's no more to the show
If you wanna breathe right, I think you better go
I didn't think twice, headed straight for the door
And when I left, I heard that big bear roar
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again
Every time that carnival came, I was right there
Lord, I learned to stay away from that mean ole' bear
Just like the man said from his speech at the start
When that carnival left town it took a piece of my heart
I still get this funny feeling way down in my bones
Whenever I hear a band play the Main Street Moan
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again
