Artist/Band: Emmylou Harris
Lyrics for Song: Crescent City
Lyrics for Album: Cowgirl's Prayer [Elektra] [1993]



(Lucinda Williams)



Everybody's had a few now

They talkin' about who know who

I'm goin' back to the crescent city

Where everything's still the same.



This town has said what it has to say

Now I'm after that back highway

And the longest bridge

I've ever crossed over Ponchartrain.



Tu le ton son temps that's what we'd say

We used to dance the night away

Me and my sister, me and my brother

We used to walk down by the river.



Mama lives in Mandeville

I can hardly wait until

I can hear my Zydeco

And laissez le bon ton roulet.



Take rides in open cars

My brother knows where the best bars are

Let's see how these blues'll do

In the town where the good times stay.



Tu le ton son temps that's what we'd say

We used to dance the night away

Me and my sister, me and my brother

We used to walk down by the river.



--- Instrumental ---



Tu le ton son temps that's what we'd say

We used to dance the night away

Me and my sister, me and my brother

We used to walk down by the river...
