"New Orleans Is Sinking" lyrics
Pezz Lyrics
(originally by The Tragically Hip)
Kick it, rockers
Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue green
She said "I can't foresee a dixie dead shake"
So we danced 'til the sidewalk's clean
My memory is muddy
What's this river that I'm in?
I said "New Orleans is sinking, man
And I don't wanna 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, so shut your big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real"
My memory is muddy
What's this river that I'm in?
I said "New Orleans is sinking, man
And I don't wanna swim"
Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue green
She said "I can't foresee a dixie dead shake"
So we danced 'til the sidewalk's clean
My memory is muddy
What's this river that I'm in?
I said "New Orleans is sinking, man
And I don't wanna 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, so shut your big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real"
My memory is muddy
What's this river that I'm in?
I said "New Orleans is sinking, man
And I don't wanna swim"
