Bourbon blues on the street loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue-green
I can Forksake the dixie dead shake

So we dance the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in
New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim


Colonel Tom What's wrong? What's Going On
You can't tie yourself up for a deal

He said" Hey North you're south shut you big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real."
Ain't got no picture postcards ain't go no souvenirs

My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking about thoes years

Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire

Sucking up to someone just stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud looked a little like me


I had My hand in the river
My feet back up on the banks

Looked up to the lord above and said hey man thanks
Some time I fell so good I gotta scream
She says Godie baby I know exactly what you men

She said, she said I sweat to god she said::.

My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in

New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim
