Lyrics for Canal Street Blues

Tell me Canal Street, Canal Street Is the longest street in town They tell me Canal Street is the longest street down in New Orleans You ride all day long, you're still on Canal Street Whiskey and women All night and all day down there Whiskey and women, oh yeah All night, all day down there (ah-hmm) If I ever get lucky and get some money I'm goin' down in New Orleans My baby wrote me a letter She livin' on Canal Street, yeah, she is She wrote me a letter, she livin' on Canal Street She said, "Johnny, you oughta come down" "Well, everything is just fine down here" Up on New Orleans, on Canal Street
