From the recording Come Down Here
Lyrics
Walkin’ down 5th Avenue, 3 o’clock in the mornin’,<br />
Shaded by the moon.<br />
Got no destination, got no warnin’, <br />
But he knows he’s gonna get there soon.<br />
<br />
He’s got a lonely shadow...<br />
<br />
Turn the corner at the news stand,<br />
Rap with Rufus for awhile.<br />
Rufus used to be somebody,<br />
Now he’s always good for a smile.<br />
<br />
He’s got a lonely shadow...<br />
<br />
Head down to Johnnie’s for a drink and a slice,<br />
Otis standing there in your way.<br />
With his life story and some funky advice,<br />
If you want to eat at Johnnie’s, it’s the price you gotta pay.<br />
<br />
He’s got a lonely shadow...<br />
