Yonder Mountain String Band - Belle parker lyrics

Verse 1: I had a girl in New Orleans Belle Parker was her name She'd hold me down and tell me Everything's gonna be alright Preached to me of blue skies Silver linings through the rain And if I ever needed anyone to blame... Chorus: Oh Blame time, daddy Blame the rain Safe but somehow, time's the same Tell me anything, Just tell me loud Blame time, daddy, blame the rain Verse 2: The velvet queen of New Orleans Belle Parker was her name We'd walk the town With a drink or two and the southern night Louisiana sunshine Mississippi rain And if I ever needed anyone to blame (Repeat Chorus) Verse 3: She'd love to talk, and I'd let her Belle Parker was her name She'd come around again, and again, and again Sittin' through the sunshine I'm waitin' on the rain And If I ever needed anyone to blame
