lyrics

If you go down New Orleans,
Best keep your mind on the St Claude bridge.
If you go down, way down into New Orleans,
Better keep your mind on the St Claude bridge.

It run from St Roch where the bullets fly,
Down to my friend, lord, in the Lower 9.
It run from St Roch where the bullets where the bullets fly,
Down to my friends down in the Lower 9.

Tears they be fallin where the levee broke,
With the Mississippi River and the End Of The World.
Tear be fallin down where the levee broke,
With the Mississippi River the End Of The World.


If you go out walking and the bridge rise,
they take more than money, leave your mother crying.
If you go out walking and the bridge rise,
they take more than money, leave your mother crying.

If you go down New Orleans,
Better keep your mind on the St Claude bridge.
If you go down, if you go down to New Orleans,
Better keep your mind on the St Claude bridge.
