Canal Street Blues Songtext
von John Lee Hooker & Bernard Besman

Tell me Canal Street, Canal Street
Is the longest street in town

They tell me Canal Street is the longest street down in New Orleans

You ride all day long, you′re still on Canal Street

Whiskey and women
All night and all day down there


Whiskey and women, oh yeah
All night, all day down there (ah-hmm)
If I ever get lucky and get some money
I'm goin′ down in New Orleans

My baby wrote me a letter
She livin' on Canal Street, yeah, she is

She wrote me a letter, she livin' on Canal Street

She said, "Johnny, you oughta come down"
"Well, everything is just fine down here"
Up on New Orleans, on Canal Street
