Crescent City

Everybody's had a few Now they're talking about who knows who I'm going back to the Crescent City Where everything's still the same This town has said what it has to say Now I'm after that back highway And the longest bridge I've ever crossed Over Pontchartrain Tous les temps en temps That's what we say We used to dance The night away Me and my sister Me and my brother We used to walk Down by the river Mama lives in Mandeville I can hardly wait until I can hear my Zydeco And laissez le bon temps rouler Take rides in open cars My brother knows where the best bars are Let's see how these blues'll do In the town where the good times stay Tous les temps en temps That's what we say We used to dance The night away Me and my sister Me and my brother We used to walk Down by the river Tous les temps en temps That's what we say We used to dance The night away Me and my sister Me and my brother We used to walk Down by the river --- Crescent City - Emmylou Harris
