Troubadour Café

I'm going down to the Troubadour café
Through the mist of time I'll make my getaway
I going back to find those long lost happy days
Down at the Troubadour café

In Old Brompton Road by the Colehearn pub
Stood a coffee bar with a basement club
Every Saturday when the sun went down
At the Troubadour café that's where I'd be found

Chorus

Redd and Martin sang about sister Kate
Martin's trumpet sound made the room vibrate
Then a slow lament brought the crowd to hush
Soft and low it moved every one of us

Chorus

Every guest that sang brought their own panache
From Tom Paxton's songs to Diz Disley's jazz
And I can't forget all the friends I made
They're all with me still in every song I play

Chorus
