New Orleans Is Sinking
Gordon Downie, Gordon Sinclair, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois, Robert Baker
All right
Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue green
I can't forsake a dixie dead shake
So we danced the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim
Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
He said, "Hey, north, you're south, shut your big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real"
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years
Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me
I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the lord above and said "Hey, man, thanks"
"Sometimes I feel so good I got to scream"
She said "Gordie, baby, I know exactly what you mean"
She said, she said, I swear to god she said
Oh no
No, yeah
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim
Swim
All right

My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
La mia memoria è fangosa, qual è questo fiume in cui mi trovo?
New Orleans is sinking, man, and I don't want to swim
New Orleans sta affondando, amico, e non voglio nuotare
Colonel Tom, what's wrong? What's going on?
Colonnello Tom, cosa c'è che non va? Cosa sta succedendo?
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
Non puoi legarti per un affare
He said, "Hey, north, you're south, shut your big mouth
Ha detto, "Ehi, nord, sei sud, chiudi la tua grande bocca
You gotta do what you feel is real"
Devi fare ciò che senti è reale"
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
Non ho cartoline, non ho souvenir
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years
La mia ragazza non mi conosce quando penso a quegli anni
Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Pallido come una lampadina appesa a un filo
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Leccando il culo a qualcuno solo per alimentare il fuoco
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Scegliendo i punti salienti del paesaggio
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me
Ho visto una piccola nuvola che mi assomigliava un po'
I had my hands in the river, my feet back up on the banks
Avevo le mani nel fiume, i piedi di nuovo sulla riva
Looked up to the lord above and said "Hey, man, thanks"
Ho guardato il signore lassù e ho detto "Ehi, uomo, grazie"
"Sometimes I feel so good I got to scream"
"A volte mi sento così bene che devo urlare"
She said "Gordie, baby, I know exactly what you mean"
Ha detto "Gordie, tesoro, so esattamente cosa intendi"
She said, she said, I swear to god she said
Ha detto, ha detto, giuro su Dio che ha detto
Oh no
