Frenchmen Street Blues Lyrics

Sprinkle my ashes on frenchmen street.
Don't be upset at 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 I'm 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.
I close out my tab in a happy hour.
Let go of my frenchmen street blues.
No don't play, don't play,
Don't play.
No don't play, don't play...
Don't play my frenchmen street blues.
