| Mr Jimmy makes a drink with thirty-four different liquors
|
| He pours it all in one shot glass
|
| You can count the layers
|
| His little wooden bar-room
|
| Betsy tried to blow it away
|
| They just mopped it back up some you know
|
| It’s all two-lane today
|
| If you asked me my opinion 'bout it I’d have to say
|
| There’s nobody but a fool or a preacher
|
| Would not love it in New-Orleans
|
| I said there’s nobody but a fool or a preacher
|
| Would not love it in New-Orleans
|
| Look out
|
| The Mardi Gras is coming up soon
|
| I’m gonna be down the street with the music and the booze
|
| Them Crescent City ladies they love to tease and flirt
|
| They steal your heart with one smile
|
| And a flip of their skirt
|
| They steal my heart with one smile
|
| And a flip of their skirt
|
| I’m gonna dance until I’m dizzy
|
| Laugh until it hurts, whoa whoo
|
| Miss Delacroix can tell you all about your fortunes
|
| She knows everything there is to know about hoodo,
|
| charms and potions
|
| She can answer any questions you might care to ask
|
| What to look for in your future
|
| How to cover up your past
|
| She said she found it likely, I’d be coming back there fast
|
| There’s nobody but a fool or a preacher
|
| Would not love it in New-Orleans
|
| I said there’s nobody but a fool or a preacher
|
| Would not love it in New-Orleans
|
| There’s nobody but a fool or a preacher
|
| Would not love it in New-Orleans
|
| I said there’s nobody but a fool or a preacher
|
| Would not love it in New-Orleans |
