Wyland Blues Planet Band - Going Down to New Orleans Lyrics




Hey, brother man
Aren't you a little ambitious with that fishing pole in your hand?
Haven't you heard what's going on?
Haven't you seen the news?
You gotta follow me here, man
Let me take you down to where I got to go
Maybe you might see something about what I'm talking about
Pay attention, here we go

I'm going down to New Orleans
Louisiana here I come
I'm going down to New Orleans
Louisiana here I come
Used to fish for my dinner
Now the fishing is done, you know

Well I'm mad as hell
When there ain't no fish to catch
Man it makes me blue
No more bait to fetch
You see, there's oil in the Gulf now
Nothing but memories left
Man, I can't believe it, can you?

I'm going down to Louisiana
To the Gulf of Mexico
Oh yeah, listen up
I'm going down to Louisiana
Got my fishing pole
Told me I can't fish today
They said go home and stay
Ain't that a crock of shit?

Well, I'm mad as I can hell
What about my f'n memories, oh yeah
All so folks can get rich
Son of a bitch please
I know our Gulf is tough but
Enough is just enough

Clean it up, clean it up baby
Got to hold that petition sign up high and say
Now take your dirty rigs out
Only whales need to spout
You got to clean up your dirty mess
To much stress on sacred waters
Please just do your best
For all our sons and daughters
Going down to New Orleans
Louisiana here I come
Going down to New Orleans
Louisiana here I come
I'll be in New Orleans
Until the battle is won
