Farewell To Storyville

Billie Holiday

    Continues after the ad

    All, you old-time queens, from New Orleans, who lived in Storyville
    You sang the blues, try to amuse, here's how they pay the bill
    The law step-in and call it sin to have a little fun
    The police car has made a stop and Storyville is done
    Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
    - a slo-ow train
    Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
    - a slo-ow train
    They made you close-up they'll never let you back
    - won't let you back
    Go buy your ticket or else you walk the track

    No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain
    - the cold-old rain
    No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain
    - the cold-old rain
    Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill
    - your one last thrill
    Just say farewell now, farewell to Storyville

    Continues after the ad

    No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain
    - the cold-old rain
    Just say farewell now, farewell to Storyville

    Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill
    - your one last thrill
    Just say farewell now, farewell to Storyville
