The Devil’s in New Orleans (Bluegrass Version)
(Words and Music by Marty Falle)

Verse 1:
Crazy characters in packs like wolves, down at the Vieux Carre’…
It’s Gumbo ya ya all night long…I can’t understand a word they say…
Til’ that Boogalee princess looked at me and said Man, Let’s go to the Fais do do…
We’re dancing to voodoo zydeco…It’s fright night on the bayou…

Verse 2:
Creole Carl has a smelly bar and women at the ready…
Put on your beads and your boa too and she will be your steady…
I’m just a salesman away from home, no wife or kids awaiting…
The devil knows where the lonely go, and preys upon my longings…

Chorus:
Oh the devil is in N’awlins…It don’t feel like Sunday mornin’…
The clock has stopped at 6:00, and she don’t give no warnin’…
Oh the Devil is in N’Awlins…there is trouble in the air…
We will trip the lights, and say good night…
It’s fright night on the bayou…

Verse 3:
Play it smart, play it safe…It don madda what you’re thinkin’…
I’m ten feet tall and bullet proof when I start that drinking…
The darker the night, the further I fall, Fat City goes on for miles…
I lost my soul at the Ole Creole…The devil cracks a smile…

Chorus

Bridge:
Laissez le Bon temp rouler…Baby, let the good times roll!!!
Laissez le Bon temp roluer…Baby, let the good times roll!!!
The Devil’s in N’Awlins…Baby, let the good times roll…

Verse 4:
There are strong winds coming from Ponchartrain, we are in for a wild night…
We are running for that camelback on Tchopitoulas, hoping we will be all right…
I got a gris gris necklace, but Katrina could care less, cause nothing gonna stand in her way…
I guess we’ll have a hurricane party, play some bourre and jam to some BeauSoleil…

Chorus
