Postcard From New Orleans Lyrics by Arkansauce

If I Were You

0

Full of gator boudin
Fueled by Ketel One
Searching for J. Reilly
New Orleans native son
I came here from the Ozarks
Through the river valley flats
On the southern breeze
Past cypress trees
To where the people say “who dat?”
Decatur darlins bummin’ smokes
A man gave me a book he just wrote
Craw-fish boys and girls show them tails
Please save me from the parish jail
The next three days go missing
Drown in a bourbon haze
Those Frenchmen down on Frenchmen
Sure know how to play
Next thing I remember knowing
I was singing Rupert Holmes
Wheeling away the hours of the day
On a bike with the tires blown
Catfish Po boy spilled down my thighs
As Fleur-de-lees fill up my eyes
Craw-fish boys and girls show them tails
Please save me from the parish jail
So if you see Ignatius
Tell him I’ll be coming back
To take my place forever
On the stoop of the tremie flat
Where jolly will be my spirit
And folly will be my guide
Big chief will be my companion
And sin will be my bride
Set me to boil in this Cajun dream
As I pole my pi-rogue on downstream
Craw-fish boys and girls show them tails
Please save me from the parish jail
