about

straight cover of the steely dan original

lyrics

on the water down in new orleans
my baby's the pearl of the quarter
she's a charmer like you've never seen
singing voule voule voule voux

where the sailer spends his hard earned pay
red beans and rice for a quarter
you can see her almost any day
singing voule voule voule voux

and if you hear from my louise
won't you tell her that I love her so
please make it clear, when her day is done
she got a place to go

I walked alone down the miracle mile
I met my baby at the shrine of the martyr
she stole my heart with her cajun smile
singing voule voule voule voux

she loved the million dollar words I say
she loved the candy and the flowers that i bought her
she said she loved me and was on her way
singing voule voule voule voux

and if you hear from my louise
won't you tell her that i love her so
please make it clear when her day is done
she got a place to go
