Dudley Taft - Skin And Bones lyrics

Walk me down to the Bourbon Street You never know what you'll see Hit St. Phillip for a drink at Lafitte's To get your mojo going Sazaraks are sinking in I can hear the saints come marching in Gonna catch a buzz lock it down tight For some crazy sh** in Storyville tonight Gumbo and the ragtime beat Will get you up moving your feet From Buddy Bolden and Jelly Roll Pushing the blues out of control Ol' Al Hirt blowing the horn All through the night to the early morn Sachmo playing on the riverboat Better pay Marcello or he'll cut your throat Infect me New Orleans Can you heal a broken soul? Baby I'm just skin and bones Jackson square got my fortune told Voodoo woman with the Hoodoo glow Hear the spirit of Daddy Rice Children of his melodies fill the night Dirty lace with the painted face Looking like they landed from outer space Follow me around with the colored beads Funky mix of grace and sleaze Infect me New Orleans Can you heal a broken soul? Baby I'm just skin and bones Baby I'm just skin and bones No matter how bad you find your life Down here you know it'll be all right Everywhere the music fills the night Wash away the dust of everyday life Infect me New Orleans Can you heal a broken soul? Don't leave me New Orleans Can you heal a broken soul? Baby I'm just skin and bones Just skin and bones Baby I'm just skin and bones Baby I'm just skin and bones Baby I'm just skin and bones Baby I'm just skin and bones…
