Crescent City
Emmylou Harris

written by Lucinda Williams

on her "Cowgirl's Prayer" album
	

Everybody's had a few,
Now they 're talkin' about who knows who
I'm goin' back to the Crescent City
Where everything's still the same
This town has said what it has to say
Now I'm after that back highway
And the longest bridge I've ever crossed
Over Ponchatrain

Tu le ton son temps
That's what we'd say
We used to dance
The night away
Me and my sister, me and my brother
We used to walk down by the river

Mama lives in Mandeville
I can hardly wait until
I can hear my zydeco
And lassiz le bon ton roulet
And take rides in open cars
My brother knows where the best bars are
Let's see what these blues'll do
In the town where the good times stay
