This Town Can’t Get Over You
Henry Hipkens
[Verse 1]
One last walk down Royal Street
Same old blue, sad and sweet
Rain drips down through the heavens
And falls from the sky
And runs like tears down the faces
Of those I pass by
[Verse 2]
It's a sad, sad town since you went away
It's a sad, sad town for those who stay
I hate to leave New Orleans
But what else can I do
Baby, this town can't get over you
[Bridge]
Strange and profound
It's as if I didn't know my way around
Magnolias weep like willows
The mockingbird won't call
It could be a hundred years since Mardi Gras
[Verse 3]
Now roses drop their petals where
You kissed me once in Jackson Square
I really love Nеw Orleans
But hate to see the bluе
Baby, this town can't get over you
And baby, this town can't get over you
