"New Orleans Blues" by Taylor Hollingsworth (BMI 2009)

 

White light talker, Red light walker

Doin' flips on the city sidewalks

He can tell you where you got your boots for 5 bucks

There's a church to sleep without a peep from the pews

New Orleans Blues

I'm doin' all I can this weekend 

Including all I don't believe in

I hold my beads up high for you to see them

Watch the Skeletons shake from wormwood dance floors

Hold allegiance with voodoo mood rings

Hand Grenades chase Irish Car Bombs

Sing the chorus loud from Toulouse

New Orleans Blues

I'm doin' all I can this weekend

Including all I don't believe in

I hold my beads up high for you to see them

To stand in fire, is hell to breath in

The Devil mimes and noone sees him

Water broke, A city reborn

Got mojo hands, if yours are all torn

Every River leads to an Ocean

So build a raft like little Huck Finn

There's a man with a knife fill your pipe for a bargain

Once you speak the same tongue it's ok to misuse

New Orleans Blues

I'm doing all I can this weekend

Including all I don't believe in

I hold my beads up high for you to see them
