Girl in New Orleans Songtext
von Sammi Smith

Left a family back in Kansas followed him to New Orleans
But it wasn′t long till the thrill was gone then one mornin' so was he
What′s a girl to do in New Orleans see her hungry child
With the darkness to hide the things that I did I took care of me and the kid


I've been lived on and loved on since the day I turned sixteen
And I can't count the ways Lord I′ve been used
I saw all the uptown ladies and don′t they look so fine
But they're just like me but the men they see pay a lot more for their time

Here comes the night again downtown lights are comin′ on
And I know it won't be long till I′ll be there
Lord I know it won't be long till I′ll be there
