FATHER HENNEPIN I've got problems of my own With painted babies and twenty dollar moments It's plain to see how it used to be Sail the ship of the sky Take my head and cry Never should have found out what it is to live 'Cause once you love then you're dead <INTRUMENTAL> Now I've seen it from both sides And you know there isn't much to live for I guess I'll just keep going back |

| Hennepin County, and Hennepin Avenue were named after Father Hennepin, who precipitated the development of Minneapolis, Minnesota by discovering St. Anthony Falls in 1680. A statue of Father Hennepin stands in Downtown Minneapolis on Hennepin Avenue. By the late 1960s Hennepin Avenue became known as a place for drunks, crime, and prostitution. "Unsavory" establishments, mostly bars and pornography peddlers, replaced former retail stores. Businessmen could be observed picking up call girls at all hours. However, this area was a choice locale for the area's musicains. | |
