Washboard Lisa Lyrics - Singles - Capps Grayson

Standin' on the corner of Royal Street, 

on a Sunday afternoon 

Out there by the old A & P 

barefoot in the sun in June. 

I saw her playin' with the 

big brass band with old Gate Junior on guitar 

I saw her playin' with John and Mooney too 

uptown at Maddigan's Bar. 

REFREIN: 

Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins 

let them go down the drain 

Everytime you move your dirty little hands 

takes away our fears and our pain 

( INTRO ) 2x 

I said "hello" to her out there on the street 

Boys, I looked into here eyes 

She said that she knew Tom Robin 

Oh, I believed it was a lie 

But how can New Orleans be so good 

To a Lucky Strike smoking queen 

With a rip in her dress and a dirty toes 

Livin life like a dream
