Minyan Man (feat. Maccabeats) [Acapella Version]

I stepped off the bus in Mobil, Alabama The sun was slowly setting on the ba-a-ay It was six o clock on a summer friday afternoon Shabbos was an hour away I walked around the town wondering what to do Cause shabbos is no time to be feeling blue And then I saw a man who looked the same way too I was quite relieved to find a fellow jew I asked the 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 Oh wont you stay with us for shabbos Minyan Man We walked down Winston Avenue a block then two more And went into a shop that read closed on the door There was a minyan at the back of a hardware store Nine men waiting for one more We ushered in the shabbos with a beautiful song The chazzan had a voice that was clear and strong We sang out as one all shabbos long Then maariv came again, I had to be moving on I asked the 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 Oh wont you stay with us for shabbos Minyan Man Now that was twenty years agobut the vision is clear And I think about it now and then cause the place is still dear And when I make this trip through Mobil once every year I remember the men who prayed here Now the minyan is gone A few died, some moved on But the back of the store still remembers the song The nine men who waited till one came along How shabbos was carried on a song I asked the 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 Oh wont you stay with us for shabbos Minyan Man
