Lady Creole, Lady French, Lady Spanish, Lady Day of the river..
Don't Let them take your blues away; don't let them wipe your face too clean, don't let them pour out all the bleech and wipe the color from your scene.

Don't Let them take your blues away, Don't let them wipe your face too clean. Keep the blend in all your spice. Don't let them kill your spirit twice or gentrify your scene.

Bring your babies to your arms! Don't let them sweep away the wrongs. You will rise up with the moon, blow your horn, sing out your tune, keep your rhythm attitude.

Don't let them take your blues away...
(Lady Creole, Lady French, Lady Spanish, Lady Day of the river..)Don't let them take your blues away. Dont let them keep you from your home. Let the saints come march on in, march till the second line joins you in a smile to make the blues come home.

Don't let them take your blues away. They make you who you are. You will sing again. Don't let them take away your song.
