Delta Spirit - French quarter lyrics

French Quarter, quarter to four Town is empty like a nuclear war The levee broke on Pontchatrain Feeling blue like John Coltrane Well, it's fine baby Oh, I swear it's fine, lover Carpetbagger tried to fix my house Low baller tried to put me out At least I got my gospel stone My house fell into the swamp Well, I need somebody to help me out I've lost it all, but I've got my health You, you oughta know They been kicking me around, and I don't wanna lose my own home It ain't no joke I was raised in this town The South is in my blood It's in the mud, they were clearing out my house But I teared it all down to the stud, all this love Is what's fixing my house, fixing up my house I ain't no refugee I'm a person, can't you see Lord, I'm humbled from what I see Oh, you are the one who will build me up I've lost it all, but I've got your health You, you oughta know They've been kicking me around, and I still don't wanna leave my own home It ain't no joke I was born in this town The South is in my blood It's in the mud, they were clearing out my house And I teared everything down to the stud, all this love Is gonna fix my house, fix up my house You, you oughta know I've lost everything, but I still have my soul, and my home I believe in you You, you oughta know I've been kicked around, but no way I'm gonna give up my home It ain't no joke I've been born in this town The South is in my blood It's in the mud They been clearing out my house and rippin' everything down to the stud And all this love Is gonna fix up my house, fix up my house Baby...
