Back To New Orleans

Pardon me sir, you've got a dime? I'm trying to find my way back to New Orleans Broke down and fallen on hard times, I need just one kind favor to get back on my feet Lost my ticket for a Greyhound bus when it left me in the dust and gone away Man at the station told me boy get lost, Start pulling your own weight. I'm walking forty days and night, under the Texas sun, Won't someone help me please Pardon me sir, you've got a dime? I'm trying to find my way back to New Orleans I did my time in Baton Rouge, Birmingham and Huston too, But all I've ever seen was weary faces just like mine, Waiting in endless lines just trying to find a seat. Lost my ticket for a Greyhound bus when it left me in the dust and gone away Now all I'm asking, is for you to help their cause, Because they are going a long way They're walking forty days and nights, under the Texas sun, Won't someone help them please Spare just a dollar or a dime, They are trying to find their way back to New Orleans. They're walking forty days and nights, And only just begun to read our destiny Still got a long hill left to climb, Come on let's find our way back to New Orleans. Come on let's find our way Come on and find our way, Come on let's find our way. --- Back to New Orleans - Old Crow Medicine Show
