john craigie - preservation hall lyrics

Loading...

on the corner of dauphine and dumaine, i picked up a trumpet and i started to play

i hit 25 blue notes all in a row, the crowd dispersed headed for the next show

a creole girl taught me to dance watched me kick out my legs and throw up my hands

she said there’s room in this city for a guy with no pity, for himself or anybody else

chorus:

i lost every dollar down in the quarter

i won ‘em backfrom all the pimps and the lawyers

they threw me their coins, i sang ‘em my songs

now im sipping my whiskey down in preservation hall

i exposed myself for a couple of beads, got thrown in a tuba by the nopd

i got blowed by a 400 pound man, saying, get the h-ll out of my instrument

played my banjo, down in jackson square, sang out loud so the good lord would know i was there

this spanish moss feels like all the short hairs that grow

on my baby where i lay my head when i get home

chorus :

verse 3:

played my banjo, down in jackson square, sang out loud so the good lord would know i was there

they told me my fortune, they told me it clear, they said you go back to frisco but your heart stays here

chorus:
