lyrics

Manny don't need no comforting
He just ask of himself to bring him up
Ain't gonna see him waiting on, waiting on, waiting on a day
Got him a chair in '73
It was his only option so Manny agreed
Same chair he has today
Since they threw the cane away

And Manny he been doing nothing he just doing his own thing
You know it's getting pretty cold out by the jub jub swing
Living with his sister till he got too big to roll in so he rolled out

Oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up, I'm not so

And Manny you know everything always mattered to him
We've gone down past Fall River all the way to Tiverton
Watching Manny fall, you know he just don't know
Old man where'd you get the love that you sold
He don't know how he go and the wise man say
Young Manny said I'm going to the vineyard today
And yeah he go on ways to bide his time
You know he loves you when he forgets your name

Oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up
Oh this friend today right me up
Oh this friend today right me up, I'm not so

'Cause my back isn't working, my feet not too well
My life isn't holding my body too well
'Cause my back isn't working, my feet, no not too well
My life isn't working my body too well

But the bottle, is not empty, 'cause your voices are all there
My life, will fight, my body for air
'Cause the bottle, is not empty, 'cause your voices are all there
My life, will fight, my body for air

Manny we gonna get that AM dial just right
I'll hold that hanger up as long as the Sox put up a fight
You know reception on this island was never so tight
Always left us pining away for more

Oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up, I'm not so

Oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up
And oh this friend today right me up, I'm not so way, way, way, way
