John Boutte At The Foot Of Canal Street Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'll see you there (at the foot of Canal Street)
What will you wear (at the foot of canal street)
Will the band be playing (at the foot of Canal Street)
What will the people be saying (at the foot of Canal Street)
Does your father lie there does your mother pray there
I'm gonna put on my golden crown
At the foot of Canal Street

[Verse]
When the levee banks have over flowed
And the street car has seen it's day
When all is gone the plantations
The Treme' and the Vieux Carre'
I'll be swinging to that music
Way up on higher ground
Where Pops is blowing "Walk On"
With Gabriel making sacred sounds

[Chorus]
I'll see you there (at the foot of Canal Street)
What will you wear (at the foot of canal street)
Will the band be playing (at the foot of Canal Street)
What will the people be saying (at the foot of Canal Street)
Does your father lie there does your mother pray there
I'm gonna put on my golden crown
At the foot of Canal Street
