New Orlean Ladies

This was a song that was popular back in the late 1970's or early 1980's but i think now it is a little known song. But in Louisiana it is still a very popular song. It is a must to play at wedding receptions, as is Van Morrison songs but that is a subject for another time and people will request  the song for their wife, girlfriend and mother.    However what is not known, I believe, is that the song is actually about or for the prostitutes in New Orleans. I did not know this until six years ago and as was pointed out to me Bourbon Street and Esplanade cross or meet, however you would like to put it. i say that because I have never been too far into New Orleans. But it is still a pretty song.

NEW ORLEANS LADIES

 New Orleans Ladies

 A sassy style that will drive you crazy

 And they hold you like the light

Hugs the wick when the candle's burning

 Them Creole babies

 Thin and brown and downright lazy 

And they roll just like the river

A little wave will last forever

 All the way

 From Bourbon Street to Esplanade

 They sashay by

 They sashay by

 New Orleans Ladies

 A flair for life, love and laughter

 And they hold you like the night

 Holds a chill when the cold winds blowing

 Them Creole babies

 They strut and sway from dusk til dawning

 And they roll just like the river

 A little wave will last forever

 All the way 

 From Bourbon Street to Esplanade 

 They sashay by

 They sashay by
