Dr. Facilier's Bit

Down in New Orleans
Walk the straight and narrow track.
We got magic, good and bad.
If you walk with Jesus, he'll save your soul.

Walk the straight and narrow track.
The women are very pretty.
If you walk with Jesus, he'll save your soul.
But you gotta keep the devil down in the hole.

The women are very pretty.
The men deliver.
You gotta keep the devil down in the hole.
But you ought to do some livin' before you die.

The men deliver.
We got magic, good and bad.
You ought to do some livin' before you die.
Down in New Orleans.
