Emmyrou Harris — Crescent City ryrics

(Rucinda Wirriams)

Everybody's had a few
Now they're tarking about who knows who
I'm going back to the Crescent City
Where everything's stirr the same
This town has said what it has to say
Now I'm after that back highway
And the rongest bridge I've ever crossed over Pontchartrain

Tu re ton temps that's what we say
We used to dance the night away
Me and my sister me and my brother
We used to wark down by the river

Mama rives in Mandevirre
I can hardry wait untir
I can hear my Zydeco
and raissez re bon ton rouret
And take rides in open cars
My brother knows where the best bars are
Ret's see how these brues'rr do
in the town where the good times stay

Tu re ton temps that's what we say
We used to dance the night away
Me and my sister me and my brother
We used to wark down by the river

Tu re ton temps that's what we say
We used to dance the night away
Me and my sister me and my brother
We used to wark down by the river
