Oh yeah, ya'll emphasized original music, and I appreciate that. Here are the lyrics if you are interested.
"8th Ward Blues"
v1
Way down on St. Claude and Spain
You can find about anything
But I don't mess with it, I gotta leave it alone
My neighbor he's got it all right next door
But I don't mess with no dope no more,
No I don't mess with it, I gotta leave it alone
Cause when I start goin, OH there ain't nothin else on
v2
When ya get in trouble down in New Orleans
Take shelter among the evergreens
I've had to do it, I've had to do it alone
If you feel like you need to pay your dues
Go and catch you some of those 8th Ward blues
I've had to do it, I've had to do it alone
You can kick and scream but no one's gonna take you home
[Chorus]
So I'm leavin.. oh I'm leavin
I gotta go, oh yeah I know
If I stick around things are gonna get right down dirty and low
I ain't never goin back to the old bayou
I've got more productive things to do
I'm gonna get on, I'm gonna get on home
Back to Carolina where the girls all smile
People got more a 'take it easy' style
I'm gona get on, I'm gonna get on home
In South Carolina, don't nothin ever go wrong.
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
[Repeat v1]
