Kelly was a blackjack dealer |
|
Living on the Gulf of Mexico |
|
Kelly had a taste for guns and pills |
|
He was looking for a mark to roll |
|
Sarah was a Kappa from Tulane |
|
She was looking for a little change of pace |
|
When a cop pulled 'em over on the interstate |
|
Kelly blew that car away |
|
(I heard him singin') |
|
Gulf breeze on the porch |
|
Me and my honey rockin' back and forth |
|
Ridin' up again with my kin and friends |
|
Underneath the yellow moon |
|
(It's a Gas) |
|
Sweet dream, New Orleans |
|
Mississippi River running over me |
|
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand |
|
Don't mock what you don't understand, it's a southern thing |
|
(It's a southern thing) |
|
Now when they held up the bank in Mobile |
|
They finally made it on the evening news |
|
She's a Georgia peach, never within reach |
|
He's a felon from Baton Rouge |
|
I heard Robert Johnson playing on the steel guitar |
|
In the heat of the Delta sun |
|
And Kelly drove 'em back up to Memphis |
|
To finish what the king had once begun |
|
(Come on and sing it now) |
|
Gulf breeze on the porch |
|
Me and my honey rockin' back and forth |
|
Ridin' up again with my kin and friends |
|
Underneath the yellow moon |
|
(It's a Gas) |
|
Sweet dream, New Orleans |
|
Mississippi River running over me |
|
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand |
|
Don't mock what you don't understand, it's a southern thing |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
It's a southern, it's a southern thing |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
It's a southern, it's a southern thing |
|
Oo yeah |
|
If we ever get out of here |
|
I want you to promise me you'll go |
|
Down to the Gulf and swim |
|
Deep in the sea and you'll think of me |
|
The way you used to sing that silly song to me |
|
Sing, "M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-humpback-humpback" |
|
Get a little closer |
|
"M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-humpback-humpback" |
|
Get a little closer |
|
Gulf breeze on the porch |
|
Me and my honey rockin' back and forth |
|
Ridin' up again with my kin and friends |
|
Underneath the yellow moon |
|
(It's a Gas) |
|
Sweet dream, New Orleans |
|
Mississippi River running over me |
|
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand |
|
Don't mock what you don't understand, it's a southern thing |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
It's a southern, it's a southern thing |
|
Come on baby, now |
|
Come on baby, now |
