Billy Blynde - Mercy

I've got a little story a tale to tell
Bout a man I met and his Louisianna gal
Mississippi flows down to New Orleans
And here we find the famous jazz scene
Liquor flows free people packed in tight
Beats and trumpets heard through the night
Everybody knew her on the scene
She's almost as famous as the actor Jame Dean
Wore an emerald green dress
With her jet black hair
She had thrift shop jewels
And a black eye to pair
Smoked her cigarettes
With her whiskey in hand
She didn't really care if she had an affair

She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She gonna get you too
Louisianna Lou

She's in the wings with a bottle of beer
Waiting for her turn she's always on cue
The band will soon be ready though she'll never play a note
She goes where she wants always smoking her dope
Louisianna Lou is a girl we all knew
Special in her own way she's one of the few
Counting down the hours till the show is done
We head backstage to start the fun
She mused all the greats from back in the day
You can still hear her voice to this very day
Her sounds will echo through all of time
To blow really hard is the way we play

She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She gonna get you too
Louisianna Lou

She's softley spoken when you see her outside
When the sun goes down she's Louisianna Lou

She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She dances at night under a big bad moon
She's our very own riverboat queen
Alot of girls tried but it's no surprise
Louisianna Lou gonna get you too
She gonna get you too
Louisianna Lou
