New Orleans Is Sinking Lyrics
Artist(Band):Tragically Hip
Review The Song (5)Print the Lyrics
Bourbon blues on the street, loose and complete
Under skies all smokey blue-green
I can't forsake a dixie dead-shake
So we danced the sidewalk clean
My memory is muddy, what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim

Colonel Tom, What's wrong? What's going on?
You can't tie yourself up for a deal
He said, "Hey north you're south shut your big mouth,
You gotta do what you feel is real"
Ain't got no picture postcards, ain't got no souvenirs
My baby, she don't know me when I'm thinking bout those years

Pale as a light bulb hanging on a wire
Sucking up to someone just to stoke the fire
Picking out the highlights of the scenery
Saw a little cloud that looked a little like me

I had my hands in the river
My feet back up on the banks
Looked up to the lord above
And said, "Hey man thanks"
Sometimes I feel so good, I gotta scream
She said Gordie baby I know exactly what you mean
She said, she said, I swear to god she said...
My memory is muddy what's this river that I'm in?
New Orleans is sinking man and I don't wanna swim

favourite hip tune | Reviewer: dusty | 7/19/2007

This had got to be one of my favourite tunes of all time. I never tire of it. Very haunting and I especially love the killer whale tank version!! Poor Gordie losing his arm to Barthelomew!!

now more than ever... | Reviewer: Darryl | 9/7/2005

This has always been an amazing song. The arrangements, the lyrics, The haunting guitar, the feeling of desperation...

Now suddenly, since huricane Katrina, this song has a whole new meaning.
