Lyrics

Those clouds are rolling in
And the sun refused to shine
I've got this funny feeling
Something just ain't right
I feel those south winds ablowin
It's been wind and rain all night
Flambeaux lights the way
And this world keeps on turning
So pass me that torch
I'm gonna keep that fire burning
There's spirits in that river (in that river)
I can hear them when I listen (yeah)
This voice it keeps on telling me
Two souls are intertwisted (oh)
That maharaja has flown
Doctor was tripping in the night (in the night)
Every man is born (every man is born)
And every man he dies (that's the circle)
Got to keep this culture living
Don't let that water rise (no no)
I learned it from the legends
Gonna let my spirit fly (let my spirit fly)
Flambeaux lights the way
And this world keeps on turning
So pass me that torch
I'm gonna keep that fire burning
There's music in the streets (music in the streets)
In the city where I was born (down in New Orleans)
No she ain't broken
Just a little beat up and torn
Came in through Jelly Roll's fingers (Jelly Roll's fingers)
And straight out Satche's horn (straight out Satchmo's horn)
Flambeaux lights the way (lights the way)
And this world keeps on turning (keeps on turning)
So pass me that torch
I'm gonna keep that fire burning (fire burning)
Flambeaux lights the way (lights the way)
And this world keeps on turning (keeps on turning)
So pass me that torch (pass me that torch now now)
I'm gonna keep that fire burning (keep that fire burning)
