C G Dm Standin' on the corner of Royal Street, F G C on a Sunday afternoon C G Dm Out there by the old A & P F G C barefoot in the sun in June. C G I saw her playin' with the Dm F G C big brass band with old Gate Junior on guitar C G Dm I saw her playin' with John and Mooney too F G C uptown at Maddigan's Bar.
F G C F Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins C G let them go down the drain F G C F Everytime you move your dirty little hands C G C takes away our fears and our pain
( INTRO )
C G Dm I said "hello" to her out there on the street F G C Boys, I looked into here eyes C G Dm She said that she knew Tom Robin F G C Oh, I believed it was a lie C G Dm But how can New Orleans be so good F G C To a Lucky Strike smoking queen C G Dm With a rip in her dress and a dirty toes F G C Livin’ life like a dream
CHORUS:
F G C F Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins C G let them go down the drain F G C F Everytime you move your dirty little hands C G C takes away our fears and our pain
