Nipper’s Corner      Bumping down the county road, some sneaky in the beat   Agnes sighs and checks her thighs she’s moving…movin’ through the   Heat, it takes a heavy toll that the people love to pay   So get your roll of dimes and your sippin’ wine   ‘Cause forgettin’ time’s the order of the day      Yellow bus drops Gospel Jones, he lost that eye in ‘43   With a soggy smile, he’ll preach a while about losin’   Losin’ nothing but a state of mind like a roll of dice,   You gotta let ‘em fall where they may   But the gospel’s gold is in the glass he holds   And ain’t nobody gonna take it away      Token stories, trading glory for the flame   Stumbling softly, fire gently soothes the soul      Detroit hank looking for some love raises a glass to Lemon Klein   Looking bold, she’s off parole and gleaming   Scheming from behind a different bar and a darker star   Where everyone takes a seat   ‘Cos when yer fightin time & yer soaked with wine   You forget that you can leave      Gospel’s watching Agnes dancing near the flame   Stumbling softly, fire gently soothes the soul   Heated prancing she keeps dancing with pain   Gospel’ssinging – Nipper’s Corner’s gonna blow      Bumpin’ down the county road, some sneaky in the beat   Agnes sighs and drops her eyes   She’s movin’…
