BIG EASY BLUES                                      

There’s trouble on the Bayou and I’m wondering what I can do

It’s been 2 long weeks now, but I’m afraid the worst isn’t through

And I’m so far away, but still I’m sad, still I’m blue

The factory and the pick-up truck are broken down and boarded up

And I don’t know if it could ever be the same

Now everybody’s scrambling, tryin’ to find someone to blame

Maybe I’ll blame the weatherman; maybe I’ll blame Uncle Sam

Or maybe I’ll blame the wind and the rain

But it doesn’t matter anyway….

Big Easy, please come back again

We need your blues, and your Mardi Gras too

Some fine Cajun rhythms, and Creole cuisine

It ain’t so easy when you’re down and out you know…

I wanna lend a helping hand, I wanna try and understand

I wanna complain to the wind and the rain

But it just doesn’t matter anyway….

Big Easy, please come back again

We need your blues, and your Mardi Gras too

Some fine Cajun women; you know what I mean…  

So please Big Easy, won’t you come back again…  Oh,

I hope you come back again

I pray you’ll come back again
