danny o'keefe - farewell to storyville (good time flat blues) lyrics

[verse]
all you old time queens from new orleans
who lived in storyville
you sang the blues, tried to amuse
here’s how they paid the bill
the law stepped in and called it sin
to have a little fun
police cop has made us stop
and storyville’s all done

[chorus]
pick out your steamboat, babe
pick yourself a train, a slow old train
pick out your steamboat
pick yourself a train, a slow old train
they made you close up
they’ll never let you back, won’t let you back
go buy your ticket, mama
else you’ll walk the track
no use complainin’
blue skies follow rain, thе cold, old rain
no use complainin’
blue skies follow rain, thе cold, old rain
just say farewell now
and get your one last thrill, your one last thrill
just say farewell now
farewell to storyville
[piano solo]

[chorus]
no use complainin’
blue skies follow rain, the cold, old rain
no use complainin’
blue skies follow rain, the cold, old rain
just say farewell now
and get your one last thrill, your one last thrill
just say farewell now
farewell to storyville
