New Orleans Is Sinking Lyrics
[Intro]
Kick it, rockers
[Verse 1: Ben Kowalewicz]
Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue green
She said "I can't forsee a dixie dead shake"
So we danced 'til the sidewalk's clean
[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]
My memory is muddy
What's this river that I'm in?
I said "New Orleans is sinking, man
And I don't wanna swim"
[Verse 2: Ben Kowalewicz]
Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?
You can't tie yourself up for a deal?
He said, "Hey north, you're south, so shut your big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real"
[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]
My memory is muddy
What's this river that I'm in?
I said "New Orleans is sinking, man
And I don't wanna swim"
Kick it, rockers
[Verse 1: Ben Kowalewicz]
Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue green
She said "I can't forsee a dixie dead shake"
So we danced 'til the sidewalk's clean
[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]
My memory is muddy
What's this river that I'm in?
I said "New Orleans is sinking, man
And I don't wanna swim"
[Verse 2: Ben Kowalewicz]
Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?
You can't tie yourself up for a deal?
He said, "Hey north, you're south, so shut your big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real"
[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]
My memory is muddy
What's this river that I'm in?
I said "New Orleans is sinking, man
And I don't wanna swim"
