Craig Herbertson - The Ghost Of New Orleans lyrics

A street car named Desire Lights the lights on the funeral pyre Madame Duvall is not retired Shes looting Brandos Jeans Top hat coat tail Call the baron if all else fails d**hs head and a banshee wail On Mississippi steam And is she the girl of your dreams That sweet jazz queen Pretty miss New Orleans You can put her in a bottle for fifty cents But dont tell Evangeline Shes a ghost of New Orleans The Duck girls on the prowl Voodoo chil starts to howl On Bourbon street a Jazz band growls The name of sweet Maxine Sin city New Orleans Ever fall in love with a burlesque queen Ever Banjo Annie as she kissed Jim Beam Yall know what I mean This aint Sesame Street Heres where the lost and lonely meet Graveyards drowning at your feet Sister Gertrude on a tambourine And she sings. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
