Versuri New orleans is sinking
- Tragically Hip

Bourbon blues on the street loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue-green
I can Forksake the dixie dead shake
So we dance the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in
New Orleans is sinking 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 you big mouth
You gotta do what you feel is real. "
Ain't got no picture postcards ain't go no souvenirs
My baby she don't know me when I'm thinking about thoes years.

Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Sucking up to someone just stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud looked a little like me.

I had My hand in the river
My feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the lord above and said hey man thanks
Some time I fell so good I gotta scream
She says Godie baby I know exactly what you men
She said, she said I sweat to god she said::.

My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in
New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim
