about

From their set at WRFL-Live on July 11th, 2012.

lyrics

Who are these too good standing round my fire
Trying to preach some voodoo vodka
In a Styrofoam cup
There's only so many times a man can bend over
That woman got a music
Will make you hand over the keys.
Canadian mist and hot black chickory coffee
Woke up what the wine put to bed
Jesse Mae Hemphill
Songs at the kitchen table
Here you take the mike
I can't wait for what your mouth will say
Don't mind me I wasn't really singin anyway
I'm working here
They say I'm working here
Down in the old city
Wrought iron in the fleur de lis
Way down in New Orleans
With the sidewalk kings
I always knew if you opened up a dream to me
Your beautiful mind would water sunbaked scenery in this alligator town
Where the sidewalks sing
And people lay with dogs
Taking baths in the evening
Candles on the sink
It's cooler here by a couple degrees
And smell that sweet olive breeze
But now we're hunkered down
Brown van Mississippi moanin'
Community yeah but you know
There's no goin' back home
All we have are these cell phones
We're still singing in the pines
Green bottles of red red wine
And in the old city
Wrought iron in the fleur de lis
Way down in New Orleans
With the sidewalk kings
Out here on the street
Just trying to make a dollar
While stony and grampa echo old call and response
Already played that song once today
But kick off your shoes hey
Careful that dress
Them old blues hurt good
But crying hurts the best
When old lovers become tourists
In the land of the heart
Now I'm too hot too cold man
What did they do to me
Came from the bureau
Rolled up the welcome mat
And tore down my home
He said you better get on that plane
She toes a thimble a corrugated rhythm
She's my washboard queen
She'll either play rhythm
Or she won't have a band
No she won't have a band
Down in the old city Wrought iron in the fleur de lis
Way down in New Orleans
With the sidewalk kings
