Cresent City Lyrics

Cresent City lyrics

Doug Atwell      fiddle

Donald Lindley   drums

John Ciambotti   bass 

Gurf Morlix      guitar

Richard Bennett  acoustic guitar

Jimn Lauderdale  harmony

Pat Quinn        harmony

Skip Edwards     keyboards



Everybody's had a few 

Now they're talking about who knows who

I'm going back to the Crescent City

Where everything's still the same

This town has said what it has to say 

Now I'm after that back highway

And the longest bridge I've ever crossed over Pontchartrain

Tu le 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 walk  down by the river

Mama lives in Mandeville 

I can hardly wait until

I can hear my Zydeco and laissez le bon ton roulet

And take rides in open cars 

My brother knows where the best bars are

Let's see how these blues'll do in the town where the good times stay

Tu le ton temps that's  all we say

We used to dance  the night away

Me and my sister   me and my brother

We used to walk  down by the river



SOLO
