Lyrics

CRAWFISH ALLEY


CRAWFISH ALLEY IS A PLACE I KNOW
IT'S SOMEWHERE I USED TO GO
SOME MIGHTY FINE LOOKIN' LADIES THERE
THEY'LL EASE YOUR MIND TAKE AWAY YOUR CARES

MET ME A LADY NAME' MARIE
LOST MY HEART WHEN SHE GAZED AT ME
LOOKIN' DOWN THE BARREL OF A LOADED GUN
NOWHERE TO HIDE NOWHERE TO RUN

CRAWFISH ALLEY BREAKS THE RULES
SHAKES STRONG MEN TURNS 'EM INTO FOOLS
CRAWFISH ALLEY TAKES THE BLAME
IT'S WHERE MY LIFE FOR EVER CHANGED
CRAWFISH ALLEY

CRAWFISH ALLEY IS A LIVIN' HELL
IT'S A PLACE I KNOW OH SO WELL
FRENCH QUARTER OF NEW ORLEANS
YOU'LL LOSE YOUR MIND FULFILL YOUR DREAMS

MET ME A LADY NAME' MARIE
LOST MY HEART WHEN SHE GAZED AT ME
CAUGHT IN THE CROSSHAIRS DEAD TO RIGHTS
LIKE A DUMB OL' DEER IN THE BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS

CRAWFISH ALLEY BREAKS THE RULES
SHAKES STRONG MEN TURNS 'EM INTO FOOLS
CRAWFISH ALLEY TAKES THE BLAME
IT'S WHERE MY LIFE FOR EVER CHANGED
CRAWFISH ALLEY
YEAH CRAWFISH ALLEY

MARIE SHE WEAVED A MAGIC SPELL
IF IT'S VOODOO I DON'T KNOW
SHE STOLE MY HEART AN' THEN MY SOUL
MAYBE SHE'S RELATED TO MARIE LAVEAU

CRAWFISH ALLEY BREAKS THE RULES
SHAKES STRONG MEN TURNS 'EM INTO FOOLS
CRAWFISH ALLEY TAKES THE BLAME
IT'S WHERE MY LIFE FOR EVER CHANGED

CRAWFISH ALLEY BREAKS THE RULES
SHAKES STRONG MEN TURNS 'EM INTO FOOLS
CRAWFISH ALLEY TAKES THE BLAME
IT'S WHERE MY LIFE FOR EVER CHANGED
CRAWFISH ALLEY YEAH

CRAWFISH ALLEY A LIVIN' HELL
DOWN 'ROUND CRAWFISH ALLEY YEAH
CRAWFISH ALLEY CRAWFISH ALLEY
