Frenchmen Street Blues Songtext
von Jon Cleary

Sprinkle my ashes on frenchmen street.
Don′t be upset at news.
Just cut me a loose with a soulful song.
Don't play no frenchmen street blues.
Hitch me a ride on a river breeze
to elysian fields so green.
And I′ll join the spirits
standin' by to smile
on the backstreets of old new orleans.
I did my time in the masquerade
and I ran around with the smooth and I'm gonna paint me a canvas of peace of mind,
and let go of my frenchmen street blues.
See you one night, one night in the sultry dreams.
You can drink me a toast as you snooze.
I close out my tab in a happy hour.
Let go of my frenchmen street blues.
No don′t play, don′t play,
don't play.
No don′t play, don't play...
Don′t play my frenchmen street blues.
