Lyrics John Lee Hooker

John Lee Hooker

Canal Street Blues

Tell me down in New Orleans

Whiskey's streamin' just like wine

Tell me down in New Orleans

Whiskey's streamin' just like wine

Lord, my baby, she down there

Wonders my baby, she gone wild

They tell me Canal Street

Is the longest street in town

Tell me Canal Street

Is the longest street in town

Yes, you ride all day long

You still on Canal Street, yes, yes

Then they tell me again, people

Lord, have mercy, it's the widest street in town

Then they tell me again

It's the widest street in town

Lord, I just gonna keep on ridin'

Keep on, down in New Orleans
