Storyville

Take a walk in my shoes

What you gotta lose

Take a look at my wife

She's a crazy slice

If I hadn't met you, where would I be?

Sleeping in the park under a shady tree

If I hadn't known you there's a possibility

If would be the only word between you and me

 In Storyville

Play me that sweet tune

From the black metal saloon

Down in death valley

Under a paper moon

Christmas came early, I saw the coming of the Lord

He was driving a Chevy or maybe a Ford

But he's moved to Slab City, to a little tin hut

Maybe he's crazy or just plain nuts

In Storyville, Storyville

Now we slip into bed

Pull the sheets over our head

I hold you tightly

Like we have just met

We talked through the midnight, we talked through the dark

We took a walk through Postman's Park

And if I hadn't met you there's a possibility

It would be the only word between you and me

In Storyville, in Storyville

In Storyville
