"New Orleans Morning" lyrics

"New Orleans Morning"

Arrived in New Orleans
Early in the morning
The morning was glorious
My spirit, benevolent
Cats in the courtyard
Angels from heaven
One peanut butter chocolate
One calico, one black
Greet me when I [?]
Arrived in New Orleans
The month I was born in
One thirty in the morning
1967
[?] in Ohio just before
The great blizzard
Pummelled by the mid-west
Fifty miles per hour winds
Fifteen foot snow dribs
Ten years later
Opening presents
Christmas is seventy seven
Frampton Comes Alive
Led Zeppelin's Presence
Pink Floyd Animals
I survive, winter '77
Listening to my Mom tell stories
Of her life in New Orleans
Working for the airlines
In an [?]
Lunches with co-workers at The [?]
Livin' on Esplanade
Doing laundry at the Washing Well

New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory

On the way through the park and back
I talked with the green-eyed cat
And her Cat Owner
On the front porch near the corner
[?]
Nice to see [?]
What a beautiful morning
The rain ain't pouring
The sun's not scorching
You're right, she said
What a beautiful morning
Feel the breeze
From the Mississippi
Look at the Mardi Gras beads
Hanging from the telephone wires
Hanging from the oak trees
Look at my shutters
I just had them painted
French-quarter green
Look at my garden
Full of camellia's
Full of azaleas
Full of magnolias
You're right [?]

It's a beautiful morning
Winter's at nine
In New Orleans

New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory
New Orleans morning glory
