vieux carre

i'm down on bourbon street again

down in that quarter of sin

standin' on a corner where i used to stand

down by charlie weaver

that old hot dog man

when you're singin' and a playin' one year seems like ten

but i'm down

down

down in vieux carre again

street people never go to pat's

we never zip as hurricanes

no

i'm down on bourbon street again

i'm back to see all my old friends

on the corner cuttin' that dixieland

king creole is one who seldom found

oh and papa joe's is one place that i've never been

but i'm down

down

down in vieux carre again

we never sip on hurricanes

no

i'm down on bourbon street again

down in that quarter of sin

standin' on a corner where i used to stand

down by charlie weaver

that old hot dog man

when you're singin' and a playin' one year seems like ten

but i'm down

down

down in vieux carre again
