Crescent City Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Lucinda Williams) 

Everybody's had a few now 

They talkin' about who know who 

I'm goin' back to the Crescent City 

Where everything's still the same. 

This town has said what it has to say 

Now I'm after that back highway 

And the longest bridge 

I've ever crossed over Ponchartrain.

Tu le ton son temps that's what we'd say 

We used to dance the night away 

Me and my sister, me and my brother 

We used to walk down by the river. 

Mama lives in Mandeville 

I can hardly wait until 

I can hear my Zydeco 

And laissez le bons temps roulez. 

Take rides in open cars 

My brother knows where the best bars are 

Let's see how these blues'll do 

In the town where the good times stay. 

Tu le ton son ton, that's what we'd say 

We used to dance the night away 

Me and my sister, me and my brother 

We used to walk down by the river.
