Washboard Lisa

Standin' on the corner of Royal Street, on a Sunday afternoon Out there by the old A & P barefoot in the sun in June. I saw her playin' with the big bra*s band with old Gate Junior on guitar I saw her playin' with John and Mooney too uptown at Maddigan's Bar. REFREIN: Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins let them go down the drain Everytime you move your dirty little hands takes away our fears and our pain ( INTRO ) 2x I said "hello" to her out there on the street Boys, I looked into here eyes She said that she knew Tom Robin Oh, I believed it was a lie But how can New Orleans be so good To a Lucky Strike smoking queen With a rip in her dress and a dirty toes Livin' life like a dream REFREIN: Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins let them go down the drain Everytime you move your dirty little hands takes away our fears and our pain (INTRO) 2x
