"Dyin' Days" lyrics
North Mississippi Allstars & Anders Osborne Lyrics
If I die down in New Orleans
Will you throw me a big parade
Would you cry thinking 'bout the memories
Or maybe you would celebrate
Yea, we all love one another
Especially on our dying days
Send me off
With trumpets and trombones
In the middle of Jackson Square
Deacon John will sing us a mournful song
With my family and friends all there
Yea, we shall love one another
Especially on our dying days
Thieves and clowns dancing all around my grave
And lying about the golden days
Cobblestones shimmering in the night
And the women don't wear no clothes
Yea, we all need one another
Especially on our dying days
So here we are
Standing by the Creole Queen
And listening to an old friends tune
The river rolls right thru New Orleans
That old Swede died so soon
Yea, we all see one another
Especially on our dying days
Will you throw me a big parade
Would you cry thinking 'bout the memories
Or maybe you would celebrate
Yea, we all love one another
Especially on our dying days
Send me off
With trumpets and trombones
In the middle of Jackson Square
Deacon John will sing us a mournful song
With my family and friends all there
Yea, we shall love one another
Especially on our dying days
Thieves and clowns dancing all around my grave
And lying about the golden days
Cobblestones shimmering in the night
And the women don't wear no clothes
Yea, we all need one another
Especially on our dying days
So here we are
Standing by the Creole Queen
And listening to an old friends tune
The river rolls right thru New Orleans
That old Swede died so soon
Yea, we all see one another
Especially on our dying days
