Every rainless day, the Chosen Few
Sound in New Orleans' Jackson Square for me and you
They play for hours beneath cathedral towers
They play the stories of their lives
Reminiscing all the good times
Every rainless day, the Chosen Few
And when the day is done and the night has just begun
Mr. Lacen walks down St. Peter St
To Preservation Hall, can't you feel the beat?
The music picks up again, these sounds will never end
Every rainless day, the Chosen Few
Sounds blend with the St. Louis Cathedral bells
And the stories the Mississippi River tells
I can't believe they're gone, and so I sing this song
They've gone into another time
I'll always remember the joy they brought to life
Every rainless day, the Chosen Few
Every rainless day, the Chosen Few
