《Port O’ Call》歌词

[00:00:00] Port O' Call - Bertie Higgins

[00:00:18] I was born in Savannah '55

[00:00:21] My daddy was a man of the sea

[00:00:25] Said my mama died when she gave me my life

[00:00:29] I believed him 'cause he never lied to me

[00:00:33] And I followed in my old man's footsteps

[00:00:37] Living my life under the sail

[00:00:41] I've slept with the best and I've been drunk with the rest

[00:00:45] Fishing and fighting and raising hell

[00:00:49] Just another port o' call

[00:00:53] Another lady of the night

[00:00:57] Just upstairs and down the hall

[00:01:01] Faking love 'neath the red light

[00:01:07] Sailing 'cross the Gulf on that stormy night

[00:01:11] I was driven to New Orleans in the howling wind

[00:01:15] When I hit that devil dock I tied her down tight

[00:01:19] And went looking for a bottle and a friend

[00:01:23] That's when I saw her near Café d'l'Amour

[00:01:27] A faded flower out in the rain

[00:01:31] She smiled at me and said Bonjour Monsieur

[00:01:35] I was drawn to her like a moth to the flame

[00:01:39] Just another port o' call

[00:01:43] Another lady of the night

[00:01:47] Just upstairs and down the hall

[00:01:51] Faking love 'neath the red light

[00:01:57] We walked and we talked and as the night wore on

[00:02:01] She took me to her room above Bourbon Street

[00:02:05] Candlelight soft music perfume and red wine

[00:02:09] I paid the price to share her satin sheets

[00:02:12] But in the flickering light her locket caught my eye

[00:02:17] As it lay gleaming upon her breast

[00:02:21] It was fine Spanish silver with diamonds inlaid

[00:02:25] And as I reached for it she started to undress

[00:02:31] As I slowly opened it and took a look inside

[00:02:37] I saw a faded photograph my father and his young bride

[00:02:43] And on the back these simple words inscribed

[00:02:49] I love you Savannah '55

[00:02:54] Just another port o' call

[00:02:58] Another lady of the night

[00:03:02] Just upstairs and down the hall

[00:03:06] Faking love 'neath the red light

[00:03:10] Just another port o' call

[00:03:14] Another lady of the night

[00:03:18] Just upstairs and down the hall

[00:03:22] Faking love 'neath the red light
