Crescent City - Emmylou Harris

(Lucinda Williams)

Everybody's had a few 
Now they're talking about who knows who 
I'm going back to the Crescent City 
Where everything's still the same 
This town has said what it has to say 
Now I'm after that back highway 
And the longest bridge I've ever crossed over Pontchartrain 

Tu le ton temps that'swhat we say 
We used to dance the night away 
Me and my sister me and my brother 
We used to walk down by the river 

Mama lives in Mandeville 
I can hardly wait until 
I can hear my Zydeco 
and laissez le bon ton roulet 
And take rides in open cars 
My brother knows where the best bars are 
Let's see how these blues'll do 
in the town where the good times stay 

Tu le ton temps that'swhat we say 
We used to dance the night away 
Me and my sister me and my brother 
We used to walk down by the river 

Tu le ton temps that'swhat we say 
We used to dance the night away 
Me and my sister me and my brother 
We used to walk down by the river
