Canal Street Blues

They tell me Canal Street is the longest street in town
They tell me Canal Street is the longest street in New Orleans
You ride all day long, you're still on Canal Street

Whiskey and women all night and all day down there
Whiskey and women, oh yea, all night and all day down there
If I ever get lucky and get some money, I'm goin' down in New Orleans

My baby wrote me a letter, she livin' on Canal Street
She wrote me a letter, she livin' on Canal Street
She said, "Johnny you oughta come down
Everything is just fine down here down in New Orleans on Canal Street"
