Magnolia Soul

Lyrics

[Chorus:] Let the good times roll The bad times gone The sun's gonna shine, shine Rise up, get on your feet Let the good times roll (Oh, don't stop) The sad times gone (Let it go, c'mon) Let the good times roll Pretty Mama can't stop Magnolia's soul (Pretty Mama gonna do your dance, c'mon) [Verse 1:] Dear Magnolia, what's crackin'? Been a long time since I last saw your face Never forget the day out in the sticks I saw your crecsent smile in place All the way from uptown, downtown, lakeside to river Heard W don't care about them Gotta watch who you make ya friend Otherwise FEMA will come through and backstab you again (And check it) Just some advice to lend Weak ties will bend Through the dark, true light will win And they said that this the end But we fixin' to make them saints march on again, c'mon [Chorus:] Let the good times roll (Woo) The bad times gone (Let 'em go, y'all) The sun's gonna shine, shine (Shine) Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet) Let the good times roll (C'mon, don't stop) The sad times gone (Let 'em go, c'mon) Let the good times roll Pretty Mama can't stop Magnolia's soul [Verse 2:] Polite little hurricane, called for, she came (Uh-huh) Officials knew the deal and they didn't do a thang (Uh-huh) Knew her every move Yep, Katrina was her name (Wha?) The mayor had the whole game in the palm of his hand (C'mon) Hand in the pot Caught cold and oh! Shouldv'e fixed them damn levees long time ago (Yuh) But they didn't take the chance to do it Pitty-pat between the Pres and the mayor Folks was dying (Die), too A gang of us in the Superdome We're in the heat Folks in wheelchairs, feet swole, nothing to eat So to the kids and the families that lost I rhyme for, 'nolia clap Show the world your soul Let the good times roll, (Let it roll, baby) Bad times gone (Let it roll, let it roll, baby) The sun's gonna shine (Say, what?) Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet) Let the good times roll (C'mon, don't stop) Sad times gone (Ha-ha) Let the good times roll Pretty Mama can't stop Magnolia's soul (I'm a let it roll, I'm a let it roll, c'mon) [Bridge:] Ah, ha-ha, a-ha Say, what?
