Farewell To Storyville

Billie Holiday · Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You [2009]

[Incomprehensible]

All, you old time Queens, from New Orleans, who lived in Storyville

You sang the blues, try to amuse, here's how they pay the bill

The law stepped in and call it sin to have a little fun

The police car has made a stop and Storyville is done



Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train, a slow train

Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train, a slow train

They made you close up, they'll never let you back, won't let you back

Go buy your ticket or else you'll walk the track



No use complaining, blue sky's follow rain, the cold, old rain

No use complaining, blue sky's follow rain, the cold, old rain

Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill, your one last thrill

Just say farewell now, farewell to Storyville



No use complaining, blue sky's follow rain, the cold, old rain

No use complaining, blue sky's follow rain, the cold, old rain

Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill, your one last thrill

Just say farewell now, farewell to Storyville



Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train, a slow train

Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train, a slow train

They made you close up, they'll never let you back, won't let you back

Go buy your ticket or else you walk the track



No use complaining, blue sky's follow rain, the cold, old rain

Just say farewell now, farewell to Storyville
