Lyrics
The Valleys of New Orleans
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Someday the walls will tremble with terrible flames here
'Til the mouth of some hurricane sweeps them away
And If I had either love or fortune I'd shed them both here
But those cards are so rarely played I've hid them away
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
Oh Stanley I've heard you laughing your way around here
There's a game that I wish to play, so slow down
I found another in Sidneys' pocket, she knows my name
And she says she wants to drive all night in the dark through all
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
Sidney says God is watching so don't fear now
She says he's bound to come, give him time
Her mouth is the taste of sea salt and saddled rum
She speaks in a vagrant language I'd heard once in a film about
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
