Jesus just left Chicago
And he's bound for New Orleans
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago
And he's bound for New Orleans
Workin' from one end to the other and all points in between.

I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was
Down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life
He talked of life
He laughed, clicked his heels and stepped
He said his name, Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell

Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smoky blue-green
I can't forsake a Dixie dead-shake
So we danced the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man, and I don't wanna swim

The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast 
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest 
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet 
While there's a moon over bourbon street

I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
 
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is you to make love to me
 
Ain't I hard enough
Ain't I rough enough
Ain't I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?

Hey farmer farmer
Put away the DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees
Please!

 

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Just a urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

It's 3 o'clock in the morning
And I'm hungry so let's eat
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa

Climb down three flights 
Too the street lights
And the Bar fights
We're just takin' in the sights
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed

Hello City, You've found an Enemy in me
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa
Hello City, Hello City Hello City hey

If you say run
I'll run with you
And if you say hide
We'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower
