[Robertson:] We're gonna bring out another friend of ours now
|
To do this tune with Mac; Bobby Charles
|
Great, great, great song writer, Bobby Charles
|
|
[Robertson:] He wrote a€œSee Ya Later Alligatora€?
|
|
Down south in New Orleans,
|
The prettiest girls I've ever seen.
|
Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet,
|
we make love to the Rumba beat.
|
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed,
|
Got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back.
|
Life's a pleasure, and love's a dream,
|
Down south in New Orleans.
|
|
My dark eyed baby, I'm on my way,
|
Back into your arms to stay.
|
I'm tired of work, I wanna play.
|
I'll make sweet love to you night and day.
|
|
Down south in New Orleans,
|
The prettiest girls I've ever seen.
|
Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet,
|
we make love to the Rumba beat.
|
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed,
|
I got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back.
|
Life's a pleasure, love's a dream,
|
Down south in New Orleans.
|
|
I want to get too loose, on Toulose Street,
|
I wanna kiss all the Creole girls I see.
|
Drink all day, dance all night.
|
Do it wrong, 'til I do it right.
|
|
Down south in New Orleans,
|
The prettiest girls I've ever seen.
|
Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet,
|
we make love to the Rumba beat.
|
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed,
|
Got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back.
|
Life's a pleasure, love's a dream,
|
Down south in New Orleans.
|
|
[Robertson:] Mac Rebennack and Bobby Charles.
