Farewell To Storyville Lyrics - Billie Holiday

All, you old-time queens, from new orleans, who lived in storyville 

you sang the blues, try to amuse, here's how they pay the bill 

the law step-in and call it sin to have a little fun 

the police car has made a stop and storyville is done 

pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train 

- a slo-ow train 

pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train 

- a slo-ow train 

they made you close-up they'll never let you back 

- won't let you back 

go buy your ticket or else you walk the track 

No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain 

- the cold-old rain 

no use complaining, blue sky's folow rain 

- the cold-old rain 

just say farewell now and get your one last thrill 

- your one last thrill 

just say farewell now, farewell to storyville 

No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain 

- the cold-old rain 

just say farewell now, farewell to storyville 

Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill 

- your one last thrill 

just say farewell now, farewell to storyville
