Right in the mouth of the Mississippi
In the gulf of Mexico
Port to the middle of the country
Missouri Iowa Minnesota
Neither the heat the rain mosquito
Small pox yellow fever super natural extremes
Could ever stop the music from playing in New Orleans
1803 Louisiana purchased by Jefferson from napoleon
Worldwide trading flourished tobacco sugar the cotton gin
Labrinth of deltas bayous levees party
Fifteen feet below the river
Mardi gras what a scene
Nothing stops the music from playing in New Orleans
Out of the womb of pirates and gamblers explorers of opportunity
Population booming city of wine cuisine song southern hospitality
The big easy cajun creole the brass bands the marching bands
New Orleans jazz dixieland
Ragtime Sidney Bechet Buddy Bolden Louis Armstrong Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Domino
Easy to be noble
When you're sunning in the breeze
Find out who's got what
When you're desperate and they're squeezing
Twice the fires burned its
Buildings
But they could not claim its soul
That mighty river's great big heart
Has no pity for its city prisoner on parole
You can drown the homes not the spirits
You can wash away the hopes and dreams Katrina
But you can't stop the music from playing
You can't stop
You just can't stop the music from playing
In New Orleans
