Barry Sides: Listen & Lyrics
New Orlean's Debutante
(Barry Sides)
From the Cd Barry Sides “Slippin’ Away”
New Orleans Debutante
In the mornin’ I’m leavin’ Memphis
I’m kickin’ off my blue suede shows
Sell my velvet Elvis
So long Memphis blues
I’ll go down the Mississippi
Head to New Orleans
Lookin’ for my blue-eyed baby
She’s my Delta queen
I’m walkin’ down on Bourbon
Lord I’m drinkin’ whiskey fire
Lord my heart is burnin’
For her sweet desire
There she stands before me
She’s everything I want
She’s my blue-eyed baby
My New Orleans Debutante
She tells me that she loves me
She takes me by the hand
Takes me to Tipotinas
To hear a Cajun band
In the mornin’ she lies beside me
She does everything I want
She’s my blue-eyed baby
My New Orleans debutante
