pearl of the quarter
Singer:boz scaggs
on the water down in new orleans
my baby's the pearl of the quarter
she's a charmer like you've never seen
singing voulez voulez voulez-vous
where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay
red beans and rice for a quarter
you can see her almost any day
singing voulez voulez voulez-vous
and if you hear from my louise
won't you tell her that i said hello
i walked alone down the miracle mile
i met my baby by the shrine of the martyr
she stole my heart with her cajun smile
singing voulez voulez voulez-vous
she loved the million dollar words i'd say
she loved the candy and flowers that i bought her
said she loved me and was on her way
singing voulez voulez voulez-vous
and if you hear from my louise
won't you tell her that i love her so
