Robert Kramer - The Place They Call New Orleans lyrics

The Place They Call New Orleans I went down to New Orleans to see the city There's a story there to tell The boys are lean the girls are pretty Like a heaven just trapped in total hell And you can find yourself or lose yourself And sin on every sin that you can find Cos, theres no place like The Place They Call New Orleans To leave it all behind I walked into a bar down by the quarter Two boys was singin' up the place And that resurrection Spirit was upon me And I drank until I almost lost my face And damned if that ole' barber chair attacked me My head went back this far and then I smiled Cos there's no place like The Place They Call New Orleans To leave it all behind I saw Marie Laveau last night on Bourbon Street She put a spell on me I can't explain She said "why don't we go and paint a little pleasure, Across a heart thats seen an awful lot of pain And you can find yourself or lose yourself And sin on every sin that you can find Cos theres no place like The Place They Call New Orleans To leave it all behind
