Don't waste your time being angry
When a moment's better with a smile (smile)
And if you feel your time's being wasted
Waste it here (waste it here) for awhile
Standing at the bus stop
Just across from Krauss
And I'm waitin' for that driver
To take me to my Heavenly house....
I'll see you there (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will you wear? (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will the band be playin'? (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will the people be sayin'? (At the foot of Canal Street)
Does your father lay there?
Does your mother pray to the saints for care?
I wanna put on my golden crown at the foot of Canal Street
And when the riverbanks are overflowin'
And the street car's seen it's day
When all is gone but plantations hallelua
The Treme, Vieux Carre
You know I'll be swingin' to that music
On a higher ground
Where Pop's is blowin' "Walk On"
Up with Gabriel makin' sacared sounds
I'll see you there (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will you wear? (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will the band be playin'? (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will the people be sayin'? (At the foot of Canal Street)
Does your father lay there?
Does your mother pray to the saints for care?
I wanna put on my golden crown at the foot of Canal Street
I'll see you there (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will they wear? (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will the band be playin'? (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will the people be sayin'? (At the foot of Canal Street)
Does your father lay there?
Does your mother pray to the saints for care?
I wanna put on my golden crown at the foot of Canal Street
I'll see you there (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will you wear? (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will the band be playin'? (At the foot of Canal Street)
What will the people be sayin'? (At the foot of Canal Street)
Does your father lay there?
Does your mother pray?
I wanna put on my golden crown
I wanna lay all my burdens down
I'll be glory bound at the foot of Canal Street
