lyrics

Come you ladies and you gentlemen, a-listen to my song.
Sing it to you right, but you might think it's wrong.
Just a little glimpse of a story I'll tell
'Bout a Gulf Coast city that you all know well.
It's hard times in the country,
Livin' down in New Orleans.

Got a lotta people talkin’
‘bout a lot goin’ on,
but if you don’t have love,
you ain’t got nothin’ at all.
You don’t need a name, no power or fame
You just need a little love in your heart.

I’m sitting down here by Burgundy Street
I see all these people a-shuffling their feet
I’m trying to keep the rhythm while they walk to the beat
Yeah, and feel a little love in their hearts.

It sure is nice down in New Orleans
Got lots of cars, but less and less trees.
We got City Park to fill up our lungs
We need that golf course like we need more guns.

Yeah, it's hard times in the country,
Livin' down in New Orleans.
You can holler about justice
& You can yell against war-
If you sing about peace you know you got my support.
I’m trying to make a difference with a little bit of love
I don’t want to sing these blues anymore.

‘cause it's hard times in the country,
hard times for you & me
yeah, it’s hard times in the city
Livin' down in New Orleans.
