Pearl Of The Quarter lyrics

On the water down in New Orleans My baby's the pearl of the quarter She's a charmer like you've never seen Singing voulez voulez voulez-vous Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay Red beans and rice for a quarter You can see her almost any day Singing voulez voulez voulez-vous And if you hear from my Louise Won't you tell her that I said hello Please make it clear When her day is done She got a place to go I walked alone down the miracle mile I met my baby by the shrine of the martyr She stole my heart with her Cajun smile Singing voulez voulez voulez-vous She loved the million dollar words I'd say She loved the candy and flowers that I bought her Said she loved me and was on her way Singing voulez voulez voulez-vous And if you hear from my Louise Won't you tell her that I love her so Please make it clear When her day is done She got a place to go
