New Orleans Is Sinking (Live)

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 those 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 hands in the river

My feet back up on the banks

Looked up to the Lord above and said hey man thanks

Sometimes I fell so good I gotta scream

She says Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean

She said, she said I swear 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
