Bourbon blues on the street loose and complete  Under skies all smoky blue-green  I can Forksake the dixie dead shake  So we dance the sidewalk clean  My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in  New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim    Colonel Tom What's wrong? What's Going On  You can't tie yourself up for a deal  He said" Hey North you're south shut you big mouth   You gotta do what you feel is real."   Ain't got no picture postcards ain't go no souvenirs  My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking about thoes years    Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire   Sucking up to someone just stoke the fire  Picking out the highlights of the scenery  Saw a little cloud looked a little like me    I had My hand in the river  My feet back up on the banks  Looked up to the lord above and said hey man thanks  Some time I fell so good I gotta scream  She says Godie baby I know exactly what you men  She said, she said I sweat to god she said::.     My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in  New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim
