Burgundy Street Blues - George Lewis

Blues were born in new orleans
They're in the heart of each one that you meet
Yes the blues were born in new orleans
They're in the heart of each one that you meet
Why they make you laugh and sing
And you'll cry
All the way down burgundy street
You know on toulouse and burgundy
Things may seem to you just a little bit wild
Just a little bit wild
That's on toulouse and burgundy
Where to you things may seem just a little wild
But each and every one is having their fun
Like it should be done even down to the smallest child
Now there's st peter street orleans
St ann and then dumaine
Yes beautiful dumaine
Let's go back again st peter street
Orleans and st ann and then dumaine
Where sometimes joy gives away to sadness
And you'll find many hearts I filled with pain
Then there's the corner near the caldonia club
Where parade bands start and end
Then on down to slow drag's hangout
I mean cy's tumble inn
Yes near the caldonia club
Parade bands start and end
Don't forget slow drag's hangout
It's fun at cy's tumble inn
That's what you find
When you walk down burgundy street
St philips and burgundy round the corner to st claude
You'll find a small church where one can stop
And rest and thank the lord
Now as you make the rounds up and down
You'll meet girls with charm and grace
And for the time of your life whatever you do
Don't forget johnny matassa's place
That's the life you'll find
When you walk down burgundy street
Now it's a street of mixed emotions
Stamps a memory on your heart you'll never lose
No you'll never lose
Yes it's a street of mixed emotions
Stamps a memory on your heart you'll never lose
So when you stayed away too long
Come back to me where you belong
And we'll walk burgundy street with the blues
