lyrics

Take Me Back to Louisian Chris George

G D
When I was a little Girl, I Danced the Streets of New Orleans
D G
I played my games with kings and queens , And built my castles High,

I’d promenade down Basin Street, The Music never seemed to stop ,
The ships all moored down by the dock, The beignets tasting sweet,
(chorus)
Oh take me back to Louisian The place where I was born and raised
The place where all of this began, The place where I still feel embraced

We two-stepped down by Bertha’s Place And sang the songs of Dixieland,
We hung out by the old band stand And dined on Jambalaya

I dressed one year as Queen Marie We pranced and sang for Mardi Gras
You could hear the bands in Arkansas We stayed out all night long
(chorus)
I’d sashay down by the Saturn Bar My friends they all looked out for me
We strayed beneath the fleur de lis, I wore my new red shoes.

The days just seemed like fairy tales Easter Time and Halloween
Fireworks and Gumbo Queens, My world was make believe
(Chorus)
