|
Standin' on the corner of Royal Street, |
|
on a Sunday afternoon |
|
Out there by the old A & P |
|
barefoot in the sun in June. |
|
I saw her playin' with the |
|
big brass band with old Gate Junior on guitar |
|
I saw her playin' with John and Mooney too |
|
uptown at Maddigan's Bar. |
|
REFREIN: |
|
Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins |
|
let them go down the drain |
|
Everytime you move your dirty little hands |
|
takes away our fears and our pain |
|
( INTRO ) 2x |
|
I said "hello" to her out there on the street |
|
Boys, I looked into here eyes |
|
She said that she knew Tom Robin |
|
Oh, I believed it was a lie |
|
But how can New Orleans be so good |
|
To a Lucky Strike smoking queen |
|
With a rip in her dress and a dirty toes |
|
Livin' life like a dream |
|
REFREIN: |
|
Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins |
|
let them go down the drain |
|
Everytime you move your dirty little hands |
|
takes away our fears and our pain |
|
(INTRO) 2x |
