The Valleys of New Orleans Lyrics

The Valleys Of New Orleans

Someday the walls will tremble with terrible flames here
Til the mouth of some hurricane sweeps them away
If I had either love or fortune id shed them both here
But those cards are so rarely played ive hid them away

In the valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans

Stanley ive heard you laughing your way round here
Theres a game that I wish to play so slow down
I found another in Sidneys pocket she knows my name
And she says she wants to drive all night in the dark through all

The valleys of New Orleans
Her valleys of New Orleans

Sidney says God is watching so dont fear now
And she said Hes bound to come given time
Her mouth is the taste of sea salt and saddled rum
She speaks in a vagrant language id heard once in a film about

The valleys of New Orleans
The valleys of New Orleans
