Calling The Children Home
Little Feat

B. Payne, P. Barrere, and F. Tackett

Uptown, the other side of canal

The funky butt hall down on liberty street

All day long it was the criminal morgue

Where dead street boys take a load off ther feet

When the sun goes doen buddy bolden plays the blues

Room full of sin, buckets of booze

How that horn could travel on a hot southern night

He was calling the children home all right

He was calling the children home

Bury me down in new orleans

So I can spend eternity above ground

You can flood this town

But you can't shut the party down

Ain't no drownin' the spirit

We callin' the children home

Yeah that spasm band side show down in Jefferson Square

The band wagon battles ain't goin' no where

Storyville girls tellin' tales in the night

How they bought all the bulls with a song

Cocaine Lil, sweet miss thing

At the hotel y'all ring ding ding

Poundin' the ivory's down at mahogany hall

They was callin' the children home

Oh yeah, they was callin' the children home

Bury me down in new orleans

So I can spend eternity above ground

You can flood this town

But you can't shut the party down

Ain't no drownin' the spirit

Callin' the children home

Was it the paddle wheels of commerce make you move the president

Or the insiders and outlaws sellin' snake oil from the tent

A fressh breath of honesty would sure be heaven sent

But politics is politics, the business is the rent

Downtown people take to the streets

They checkin' the sounds, they lookin' to eat

Britsens manales just a trolly away

You can tease your palate any time night or day

There was the night at tips, when the fess hit the keys

Like a bomb goin' off, brought you down to your knees

Ernie K. Doe - Bobby Marchand -

Eddie Bo, don't forget Dr. John

They callin' the children home

Bury me down in new orleans

So I can spend eternity above ground

You can flood this town

But you can't shut the party down

Ain't no drownin' the spirit

We callin' the children home

Ain't no drownin' the spirit

We callin' the children home
