[00:10.52] | |
[00:21.72] | I was standing on this sidewalk in 1945 in jacksonville, illinois |
[00:28.51] | |
[00:32.26] | When asked what my name was there came no reply |
[00:36.49] | They i said was a deaf and sightless half-wit boy |
[00:40.23] | |
[00:42.16] | But lewis was my name though i could not say it |
[00:46.18] | |
[00:47.12] | I was born and raised in new orleans |
[00:50.81] | |
[00:53.00] | My spirit was wild so i let the river take it |
[00:56.93] | |
[00:57.62] | On a barge and a prayer upstream |
[01:00.68] | |
[01:03.31] | They searched for a mother and they searched for a father |
[01:08.06] | And they searched'til they searched no more |
[01:10.68] | |
[01:13.74] | The doctors put to rest their scientific test |
[01:17.18] | |
[01:17.93] | And they named me john doe no. 24 |
[01:21.87] | |
[01:24.00] | And they all shook their heads in pity |
[01:27.69] | |
[01:28.75] | For a world so silent and dark |
[01:32.25] | |
[01:34.50] | Well there's no doubt that life's a mystery |
[01:38.13] | |
[01:39.74] | But so too is the human heart |
[01:43.06] | |
[01:43.75] | And it was my heart's own perfume |
[01:46.24] | when the crape jasmine bloomed on st. charles avenue |
[01:52.62] | |
[01:55.42] | Though i couldn't hear the bells of the streetcars coming |
[01:59.30] | |
[02:00.49] | By toeing the track i knew |
[02:03.49] | |
[02:05.18] | And if i were an old man returning |
[02:09.18] | |
[02:10.55] | With my satchel and pork pie hat |
[02:14.36] | |
[02:16.24] | I'd hit every jazz joint on bourbon |
[02:19.93] | |
[02:20.74] | And i'd hit every one on basin after that |
[02:24.74] | |
[03:08.55] | The years kept passing as they passed me around |
[03:12.75] | From one state ward to another |
[03:16.75] | |
[03:17.82] | Like i was an orphaned shoe from the lost and found |
[03:23.56] | Always missing the other |
[03:26.81] | |
[03:28.50] | They gave me a harp last christmas |
[03:32.38] | |
[03:33.69] | And all the nurses took a dance |
[03:36.59] | |
[03:39.52] | Lately i've been growing listless |
[03:42.64] | |
[03:44.01] | Been dreaming again of the past |
[03:48.03] | I'm wandering down to the banks of the great big muddy |
[03:53.73] | |
[03:54.41] | Where the shotgun houses stand |
[03:57.72] | |
[03:59.54] | I am seven years old and i feel my daddy |
[04:04.35] | |
[04:05.23] | Reach out for my hand |
[04:08.23] | |
[04:10.22] | While i drew breath no one missed me |
[04:14.14] | |
[04:15.27] | So they won't on the day that i cease |
[04:19.02] | |
[04:21.08] | Put a sprig of crape jasmine with me |
[04:24.71] | |
[04:25.77] | To remind me of new orleans |
[04:29.02] | |
