《New Orleans Wins the War》歌词

[00:00:00] New Orleans Wins The War (LP Version) - Randy Newman

[00:00:05] Don't remember much about my baby days

[00:00:09] But I been told

[00:00:12] We used to live on Willow near the Garden District

[00:00:17] Next to the Sugar Bowl

[00:00:22] Momma used to wheel me past an ice cream wagon

[00:00:25] One side for White and one side for Colored

[00:00:29] I remember trash cans floatin' down Canal Street

[00:00:32] It rained every day one summer

[00:00:36] Momma used to take me to Audubon Park

[00:00:40] Show me the ways of the world

[00:00:42] She said "here comes a white boy there goes a black one

[00:00:47] That one's an octoroon

[00:00:50] This little cookie here's a macaroon that big round thing's

[00:00:55] A red balloon

[00:00:57] And the paper down here's called the Picayune

[00:01:01] And here's a New Orleans tune"

[00:01:17] In 1948 my Daddy came to the city

[00:01:20] Told the people that they'd won the war

[00:01:24] Maybe they'd heard it maybe not

[00:01:27] Probably they'd heard it and just forgot

[00:01:30] 'Cause they built him a platform there in Jackson Square

[00:01:34] And the people came to hear him from everywhere

[00:01:38] They started to party and they partied some more

[00:01:41] 'Cause New Orleans had won the war

[00:01:49] (We knew we'd do it we done whipped the Yankees)

[00:01:58] Daddy said "I'm gonna get this boy out of this place

[00:02:01] Bound to sap his strength

[00:02:05] People have fun here and I think that they should

[00:02:08] But nobody from here every come to no good

[00:02:11] They're gonna pickle him in brandy and tell him he's saved

[00:02:15] Then throw fireworks all 'round his grave"

[00:02:18] So he took us down to the airport and flew us back to L A

[00:02:22] That was the end of my baby days

[00:02:25] Blue blue morning blue blue day

[00:02:32] All your bad dreams drift away

[00:02:37] It's a blue blue morning of a blue blue day

[00:02:46] Lose those bad dreams

[00:02:53] Those gray clouds above you what you want them around

[00:02:57] With you for

[00:03:00] You got someone to love you

[00:03:03] Who could ask for more

[00:03:06] It's a blue blue morning of a blue blue day

[00:03:14] All your bad dreams drift away
