B           E
Everybody's had a few
                          B
Now they're talking about who knows who
                      C#m
I'm going back to the Crescent City
       A                     B
Where everything's still the same
                           E
This town has said what it has to say
                   B
Now I'm after that back highway
                C#m              A                     B
And the longest bridge I've ever crossed over Pontchartrain
          F#m                   B
Tu le ton temps that's  what we say
           F#m              B
We used to dance  the night away
          F#m                B
Me and my sister   me and my brother
           F#m               B
We used to walk  down by the river
              E
Mama lives in Mandeville
              B
I can hardly wait until
              C#m         A                 B
I can hear my Zydeco and laissez le bon ton roulet
                  E
And take rides in open cars
                           B
My brother knows where the best bars are
                    C#m                A                         B
Let's see how these blues'll do in the town where the good times stay
          F#m                   B
Tu le ton temps that's  what we say
           F#m              B
We used to dance  the night away
          F#m                B
