lirik lagu john craigie - goddess of new orleans

i was born in los angeles

raised in the south part i am not ashamed

they had there angels, but none did compare

with the goddess of new orleans

i sang to the princesses of all the county fairs

queens of the rockies they all listened with disdain

but all got quite when i poured my voice into the ear

of the goddess of new orleans

down in the quarter the storm took a rest

streets all wet with puddles full of rain

i turned a corner and with flowers in her hair

there lay the goddess of new orleans

i knelt beside her, and played her my guitar

she did not judge me by my rags and stains

either rich man or poor man it seems

in her eyes, there all the same

they say that robert johnson never sold his soul

just born with a gift and practiced night and day

but he learned the blues when his love was denied

by the goddess of new orleans

and lincoln died laughing, so the story goes

got shot during the funniest line of the play

but the people of louisiana know

he just smiled at the mention of her name

now i’m rambling through the tennessee hills

but i promised i’ll go see her again

either in her palace or in the gutter i will kneel

before the goddess of new orleans
