lyrics

waking up, it's barely morning
the sun is up & the air is hot
spin a lie into a story
you ask me why, but i forgot

the wind is blowing, cars are going
cross the bridge & a parking lot
pick some flowers off the highway
a handful of forget-me-nots

the devil beats his wife with a walking stick
his wife, she cries & the sunshine drips
into the streets & into my house
& god beats the devil for beating his spouse

those sunshowers give me pleasure
that sweet & sunny Louisiana rain
this mixed-up New Orleans weather
fills my heart with aches & pains
