Pearl of the Quarter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the water down in New Orleans My baby's the pearl of the quarter She's a charmer like you never seen Singing voulez, voulez, voulez-vous [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] And if you hear from my Louise Won't you tell her I say hello? Please make it clear When her day is done She got a place to go [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] She loved the million-dollar words I say She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her She said she loved me and was on her way Singing voulez, voulez, voulez-vous [Chorus] And if you hear from my Louise Won't you tell her I love her so? Please make it clear When her day is done She got a place to go [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And if you hear from my Louise Won't you tell her I love her so? Please make it clear When her day is done She got a place to go
