Bourbon blues on the street loose and complete
  Under skies all smoky blue-green
  I can Forksake the dixie dead shake
  So we dance the sidewalk clean
  My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in
  New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim
    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 shut you big mouth
  You gotta do what you feel is real."
  Ain't got no picture postcards ain't go no souvenirs
  My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking about thoes years
    Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
  Sucking up to someone just stoke the fire
  Picking out the highlights of the scenery
  Saw a little cloud looked a little like me
    I had My hand in the river
  My feet back up on the banks
  Looked up to the lord above and said hey man thanks
  Some time I fell so good I gotta scream
  She says Gordy baby I know exactly what you men
  She said, she said I sweat to god she said::.
    My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in
  New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim
