Foot of Canal Street Lyrics

Don't waste you time being angry
when a moment's better with a smile
if you feel you're time's been wasted
waste it here a while
standing at that bus stop just across from Krausse
waiting for the driver
to take me to my heavenly house
I'll see you there at the foot of Canal Street
what will you wear at the foot of canal street
will the band be playing at the foot of Canal Street
what will the people be saying at the foot of Canal Street

does your father lie there does your mother pray there
I'm going to put on my golden crown
At the foot of Canal Street
when the levee banks have over flowed
and the street car has seen it's day
when all is gone the plantations
the Treme' and the Vieux Carre'
I'll be swinging to that music
way up on higher ground
where Pops is blowing "Walk On"
with Gabriel making sacred sounds
I'll see you there at the foot of Canal Street
what will you wear at the foot of canal street
will the band be playing at the foot of Canal Street
what will the people be saying at the foot of Canal Street

does your father lie there does your mother pray there
I'm going to put on my golden crown
at the foot of Canal Street
