Saturday Night in New Orleans Songtext
von Jamey Johnson

I know a swamp down south that can′t be drained
At a little town just across the Pontchartrain
Somewhere around sundown, a crowd starts forming
Every night is Saturday night in New Orleans


Cops out shaking 'em down on Toulouse
Stray dog barkin′ at a voodoo head in a noose
Drunk girl running around in the clothes she was born in
Every night is Saturday night in New Orleans

Cobblestone streets littered with muddy puddles
Painted ladies standing around in huddles
Junkies sleeping it off while the trumpets roaring
Every night is Saturday night in New Orleans

It's a good day, any day you feel no rain
Most days, you drown in the pouring pain
Ain't nobody goin′ to church in the morning
Every night is Saturday night in New Orleans
