RamPart St. Blues

RamPart St. Blues - Lucille Hegamin

Way down on Rampart Street in New Orleans

Somebody's calling me

And I can hear that gang of jelly beans

Are singing harmony

I get lonesome by my ownsome

Here in this one horse town

My heart beats

For Rampart Street

And for my teasing brown

Oh the Mississippi River is so doggone deep and wide

Yes the Mississippi River is so doggone deep and wide

But if I can swim across it

There's a street where I can hide

Way down yonder on old

Rampart Street lives my sweet papa Lou

There down yonder on old

Rampart Street lives my sweet papa Lou

He's the one sweet papa

I can always tell my troubles to

Louisiana Louisiana

I'm coming back to you

Louisiana Louisiana

Ain't nothing else to do

My sweet old baby

I don't mean maybe

I'm gonna tell you true

Say I'm not bluffing there ain't no nothing

I love like I love you

Honey put your patent leathers on and spread that sad old news

I said put your patent leathers on and spread that sad old news

That old used to be has got a mean old case of

Rampart Street blues
