Lyrics
WOKE UP IN NEW ORLEANS
HOLD BACK THE WATER
HOLD BACK THE DEVIL?S DAUGHTER
THE FIRE IS BURNING DOWN THE BARN
BEWARE THE TAROT
IN THE QUARTER THE STREETS ARE NARROW
MADAME SYLVIE IS TURNING ON THE CHARM
THE SKY WAS ON FIRE WHEN I WOKE UP IN NEW ORLEANS
THE NIGHT WAS FILLED WITH MAGIC IN NEW ORLEANS
THE GYPSY QUEEN SPRINKLING VOODOO ON BOURBON STREET
ROSES WERE FALLING FROM HEAVEN IN NEW ORLEANS
FROM MAY TO SEPTEMBER
THOSE ARE DAYS WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
WITH HEARTS THAT BEAT LIKE LOST AND FOUND
BY LAFAYETTE THEY WERE MARRIED
BESIDE THE SOULS OF THE DEAD AND BURRIED
WITH HOPES THAT WERE SINKING LIKE THE GROUND
SWEET MARY HOLY
COME TEMPT ME SLOWLY
SWEET LADY HELP ME
TO HOLD BACK THE TIDE
ON THE SHORES OF THE BAYOU
WHERE THE DEVIL WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU
OUR SPIRITS WILL TOUCH THE SKY
AND THEY?LL FLY
AND THEY?LL SING
AND THEY?LL NEVER DIE
