Crescent City

Lyrics

(Lucinda Williams)
 Everybody's had a few now
 They talkin' about who know who
 I'm goin' 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 Ponchartrain.
 Tu le ton son temps that's what we'd 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 bons temps roulez.
 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 son ton, that's what we'd say
 We used to dance the night away
 Me and my sister, me and my brother
 We used to walk down by the river.
 --- Instrumental ---
 Tu le ton son temps that's what we'd say
 We used to dance the night away
 Me and my sister, me and my brother
 We used to walk down by the river...
