Frenchmen Street Blues Lyrics - Jon Cleary

Sprinkle my ashes on frenchmen street 

Don't be upset at the news 

Just cut me a loose with a soulful song 

Don't play no frenchmen street blues 

Hitch me a ride on a river breeze 

To elysian fields so green 

And I'll join the spirits 

Standin' by to smile 

On the backstreets of old New Orleans 

I did my time in the masquerade 

And I ran around with the smooth 

And Im gonna paint me a canvas of peace of mind 

And let go of my frenchmen street blues 

See you one night, one night in the sultry dreams 

You can drink me a toast as you snooze 

Close out my tab in a hour hour 

Let go of my frenchmen street blues
