Lyrics

Cornelia Street
Words and Music: Dennis Carlan

For just a few nights, towards the end of July
In the 'City That Never Sleeps'
The Blues come alive, at a cafe you'll find
Only on Cornelia Street

Between Bleeker (of course) and 4th to the North
West of 6th Avenue
Village folks come to dine, and have a good time
On Cornelia Street the Soul of the Blues

Come hear the Blues
From down-home in the country
With the rhythm and roots of the land
Some city bred Soul
Some sweet Rock 'n Roll
Even a hard-drivin' horn-blowin' band

So why wonder why, on those nights in July
Which menu or venue to choose
Hurry on down, while the Blues are in town
To Cornelia Street the Soul of the Blues

Come hear the Blues
From down-home in the country
With the rhythm and roots of the land
Some city bred Soul
Some sweet Rock 'n Roll
Even a hard-drivin' horn-blowin' band

So why wonder why, on those nights in July
Which menu or venue to choose
Hurry on down, while the Blues are in town
To Cornelia Street the Soul of the Blues
