[Verse 1]
Em B7
I know a swamp down south that can't be
Em
drained
Em B7
At a little town just across the Pontchartrain
Am Em
Somewhere around sundown, a crowd starts forming
[Chorus]
Em B7 Em
Everynight is Saturday Night in New Orleans
[Verse 2]
Em
Cops out shaking em down on Toulouse
Em B7
Stray dog barking at a voodoo head in a noose
Am Em
Drunk girl running around in the clothes she was born in
[Chorus]
Em B7 Em
Everynight is Saturday Night in New Orleans
[Verse 3]
Em B7 Em
Cobblestone streets littered with muddy puddles
Em B7
Painted ladies standing around in huddles
Am Em
Junkies sleeping it off while the trumpets roaring
[Chorus]
Em B7 Em
Everynight is Saturday Night in New Orleans
[Verse 4]
Em
Its a good day any day you feel no rain
Em B7
As most days you drown in the pooring pain
Am Em
Ain't nobody going to church in the morning
[Chorus]
Em B7 Em
Everynight is Saturday Night in New Orleans
Em B7 Em
Everynight is Saturday Night in New Orleans
