Big River - Grateful Dead
Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry, Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river, And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die. I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota, She tore me up everything I heard her drawl, that southern drawl. Well I heard my dream went back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport, And I follow you big river when you called. Well I followed her down to St. Louie, later on down the river, Trader said she's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone. Well I followed her down to Memphis, but she just walked off the bus, She raised a few eyebrows and she went on down alone. Well I've gotten on down to Baton Rouge, River Queen roll on, Take that woman down to New Orleans, New Orleans. I give up, I've had enough, followed my blues on down to the gulf, She loves you big river more than me. ps Its got a Memphis in there too. |

"New orleans"-Silver Jews
"There is a house in New Orleans, not the one you've heard about , I'm talking bout another house. They spoke of gold in the cellar that a Spanish gentleman had left. I crept in a hundred years ago with a dagger tucked in my vest. Legends of gold I've tried to hold in the grey half-light of the hallway at night...1-2-3-4-5 we're trapped inside this song where the nights are so long. Theres traps inside us all and the nights are so tall. And the night is so tall. And the knife is so tall" |

It's later than I thought it was
The shadows long and lost Circle through the room Swear, as I met your mother there In New Orleans The sun was slipping Into blue The longest day is over The longest day My alphabet angels come out to play Yeah Alphabet Angels - David Sylvian Whose concert in Chicago I will have the great honor of attending next week! |

Alright! Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete Under skies all smoky blue green I can't forsake a dixie dead shake So we danced the sidewalk clean My memory is muddy What's this river that I'm in? 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 shut your big mouth, You gotta do what you feel is real Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs My baby, she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire Picking out the highlights of the scenery Saw a little cloud that 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 said 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 that I'm in? New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim Swim! wow old bump !! clued in as soon as i seen PB post (rip) |

a classic:
Arlo Guthrie - City Of New Orleans Riding on the City of New Orleans, Illinois Central Monday morning rail Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders, Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail. All along the southbound odyssey The train pulls out at Kankakee Rolls along past houses, farms and fields. Passin' trains that have no names, Freight yards full of old black men And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles. CHORUS: Good morning America how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car. Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score. Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor. And the sons of pullman porters And the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel. Mothers with their babes asleep, Are rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. CHORUS Nighttime on The City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee. Half way home, we'll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness Rolling down to the sea. And all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream And the steel rails still ain't heard the news. The conductor sings his song again, The passengers will please refrain This train's got the disappearing railroad blues. Good night, America, how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. |

Louisiana 1927 by Randy Newman
What has happened down here is the wind have changed Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain Rained real hard and rained for a real long time Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline The river rose all day The river rose all night Some people got lost in the flood Some people got away alright The river have busted through cleard down to Plaquemines Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne CHORUS Louisiana, Louisiana They're tyrin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away Louisiana, Louisiana They're tryin' to wash us away They're tryin' to wash us away President Coolidge came down in a railroad train With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done To this poor crackers land." CHORUS |

Have you ever been down to New Orleans
Lord, lord, them crazy queens Crying the blues is what they do down there Fortune teller, he knows your name Fortune teller, he'll tell you your game Crying the blues, that's what they do down there Money dripping from a willow tree He never want me Lazy bones, I ain't got a dime Just biding my time If I find a way to choose New Orleans, where they're crying the blues Drinking bourbon from a dixie cup Hanging out till the sun comes up Crying the blues is what they do down there French women, all I need Up and down old Bourbon Street Crying the blues is what they do down there If I find a way to choose New Orleans, where they're singing the blues J. J. Cale |

Cindy of New Orleans - Waylon Jennings
Down by the river where the big boats go by Each day you could see them as evening was nigh They planned to be married at the first sign of spring And Jim would take Cindy to see New Orleans. The town folks would smile as they sat there alone Jim talked of the day he'd make Cindy his own He saved his money to buy her a ring And take his sweet Cindy to see New Orleans. --- Instrumental --- One day a riverboat gambler chanced by And captured her heart with his sweet words and lies He told her come with me and you'll be a queen So they left together to see New Orleans. Each day you can see Jim though years have gone by Down by the river where the big boats go by She wrote she'd return at the first sign of spring He's waiting for Cindy to see New Orleans...

Ramblin Man - Waylon Jennings
I've been down the Mississippi, down through New Orleans I've played in California there ain't too much I haven't seen I'm a Ramblin' Man Don't fool around with a Ramblin' Man Left a girl in West Virginia Up there where the green grass grows Got a girl in Cincinnati, waitin' where the Ohio River flows I'm a Ramblin' Man Don't give your heart to a Ramblin' Man You better move away You're standing too close to the flame Once I mess with your mind Your little heart won't be the same I'm a Ramblin' Man Don't mess around with a Ramblin' Man Well, up in Chicago I was known as quite a boy Down in Alabama they call me the man of joy I'm a Ramblin' Man Don't fall in love with a Ramblin' Man You better move away You're standing too close to the flame Once I mess with your mind Your little heart won't be the same I'm a Ramblin' Man Don't mess around with a Ramblin' Man
