At the Foot of Canal Street

Don't waste you time being angry

When a moment's better with a smile

If you feel you're time's been wasted

Waste it here a while

Standing at that bus stop just across from Krauss

Waiting for the driver

To take me to my heavenly house

Chorus

I'll see you there at the foot of Canal Street

What will you wear at the foot of canal street

Will the band be playing at the foot of Canal Street

What will the people be saying at the foot of Canal Street

Does your father lie there does your mother pray there

I'm going to put on my golden crown

At the foot of Canal Street

Verse

When the levee banks have over flowed

And the street car has seen it's day

When all is gone the plantations

The Treme' and the Vieux Carre'

I'll be swinging to that music

Way up on higher ground

Where Pops is blowing "Walk On"

With Gabriel making sacred sounds

Chorus

I'll see you there at the foot of Canal Street

What will you wear at the foot of canal street

Will the band be playing at the foot of Canal Street

What will the people be saying at the foot of Canal Street

Does your father lie there does your mother pray there

I'm going to put on my golden crown

At the foot of Canal Street
