Story behind the song
HOW NEW IRLEANS IS AN HOW IT BOUNCES BACK
Lyrics
NEW ORLEANS RAIN
GARY RAMSEY 2025
[verse 1]
creole girl,
silky skin,
devil knocks
she lets him in
[verse 2]
fan the flames
fevers high
cry the name
make ravens fly
[verse 3]
bride and groom
dance the dance,
jump the broom
a voodoo trance
[verse 4]
cold wind blows
a dead man's shoes
swing below
a hangman's noose
[chorus]
in the New Orleans rain
whiskey shots flow again
ain't nobody feeling no pain
in the New Orleans rain...
in the New Orleans rain...
( guitar solo)
[verse 5]
women sing
love for sale
old stray dog
chasin' it's tail
[verse 6]
widows moan
grace denied
chills my bones
night comes alive
[verse 7]
down the way
black cats prowl
hellhounds loose
i heard 'em howl
[chorus]
in the New Orleans rain
whiskey shots flow again
ain't nobody feeling no pain
in the New Orleans rain
well I found me again
in the New Orleans rain
