about

About one of the most beautiful cities of US.
Becky on lead vox, Cingi on the rest.
On the middle section, yes, what you hear is a double bass played by Alper Yilmaz.
Cingi plays two solos back to back using another SG '61 Reissue.
Solos dedicated to Mr. Richard C. Goodman.

lyrics

Left the good old city just yesterday
on a bus headed way down south
Oh, you know I was born to strut my stuff in the Marigny
with a harmonica in my mouth

Have you ever been down Frenchmen street?
Well, there's blues at every turn
Don't you know everybody there's got a story to share
and a cigarette to burn

New Orleans, oh, New Orleans
New Orleans, oh, New Orleans
City's alive
and it sings for you
It's alive
when it sings the blues

Got myself a daddy right away
you know he treats me good and right
Well, he plays his guitars at the divey bars
and he sings to me all night

Yeah, you see his mamma grew up here
and she watched the Lazy River crawl
She would set out a stool on the porch and keep cool
as the summer turned to fall

New Orleans, oh, New Orleans
New Orleans, oh, New Orleans
City died, but it heals for you
Yeah, it died, but it bleeds the blues
City died, but it heals for you
Yeah, it died, but it bleeds the blues

The streets are filled with the Krew du Vieux
and I got a cold drink in my hand
Every man and every woman is all dressed up
and I can hear a big marching band

New Orleans, oh, New Orleans
New Orleans, oh, New Orleans
City's alive
and it sings for you
It's alive
when it sings the blues

New Orleans, oh, New Orleans
New Orleans, oh, New Orleans
City's alive
and it sings for you
It's alive
when it sings the blues
