lirik lagu michael hurley - new orleans '61

down at the first precinct
they ain’t got no law at all
i was deep in then
no reason to talk
no reason to talk

i met old johnny
old johnny saxon
he was a banker
had game in his day
had game in his day

but the only crime then
of which he guilty
he just don’t have no
social scene nor between
social scene nor between

they bring in the morning
something like coffee
something like coffee
called chicory
called chicory

they bring a sandwich
and in between
was a slice of something
called hog’s head cheese
called hog’s head cheese
i met elihuе
elihue murphy
he seemed likе a grifter
i could trap and leave
i could trap and leave

he spoke of the lonely
town he had walked down
he felt like the only
man walking on the street
man walking on the street

and the only sign in town
when elihue walked down
’bout put his sweet lips
a little closer to the phone
turn the jukebox way down

they allow one phone call
one phone call, that’s all
that just cost a nickel
a nickel is all
a nickel is all

that made me wish i
was out at tj’s bar
i could get a new beer
for three nickels
for three nickels
i could get a bowl of red beans
red beans and dirty rice
that’d be thirty~five cents
that’d be pretty nice
that’d be pretty nice

in 1961
me and him ruled the car
we decided to hitchhike
to new orleans
to new orleans

hitchhike in alabama
this little town we walked down
this old man came along
boys, where are you bound?
boys, where are you bound?

and we said, “new orleans”
and he said, “don’t go there”
that place ain’t nothin’
but a crawdad hole
but a crawdad hole

and elihue whistled
a tune in that steel cell
he whistled very well
called “silver bells”
called “silver bells”
and down the corridor
where all the black folks are
i could hear them singing
this jailhouse blues
this jailhouse blues
