French Quarter Songtext - Delta Spirit

French Quarter - Delta Spirit

French Quarter, quarter to four
Town is empty like a nuclear war
The levee broke on Pontchatrain
Feeling blue like John Coltrane
Well, it's fine baby
Oh, I swear it's fine, lover

Carpetbagger tried to fix my house
Low baller tried to put me out
At least I got my gospel stone
My house fell into the swamp

Well, I need somebody to help me out
I've lost it all, but I've got my health

You, you oughta know
They been kicking me around, and I don't wanna lose my own home
It ain't no joke
I was raised in this town
The South is in my blood
It's in the mud, they were clearing out my house
But I teared it all down to the stud, all this love
Is what's fixing my house, fixing up my house

I ain't no refugee
I'm a person, can't you see
Lord, I'm humbled from what I see
Oh, you are the one who will build me up
I've lost it all, but I've got your health

You, you oughta know
They've been kicking me around, and I still don't wanna leave my own home
It ain't no joke
I was born in this town
The South is in my blood
It's in the mud, they were clearing out my house
And I teared everything down to the stud, all this love
Is gonna fix my house, fix up my house

You, you oughta know
I've lost everything, but I still have my soul, and my home
I believe in you

You, you oughta know
I've been kicked around, but no way I'm gonna give up my home
It ain't no joke
I've been born in this town
The South is in my blood
It's in the mud
They been clearing out my house and rippin' everything down to the stud
And all this love
Is gonna fix up my house, fix up my house

Baby...
