Текст песни Nobody But a Fool or a Preacher - David Soul

Mister Jimmy makes a drink
With thirty-four different liquors
Pours in all in one shot-glass
You can count the layers
This little wooden bar-room
Betsy tried to blow it away
They just propped it back up some
You know it's all too late today
If you asked me my opinion 'bout it
I'd just have to say

There's nobody but a fool or a preacher
Would not love it in New Orleans
I said there's nobody but a fool or preacher
Would not love it in New Orleans

Look out
The Mardi Gras is coming up soon
I'm gonna be down the street
With the music and the booze
Them Cresecent City ladies
They love to tease and flirt
They steal your heart with one smile
And a flip of their skirt
They steal my heart with one smile
And a flip of their skirt
I'm gonna dance until I'm dizzy
And laugh until it hurts

There's nobody but a fool or a preacher
Would not love it in New Orleans
I said there's nobody but a fool or preacher
Would not love it in New Orleans

Miss Delacroix can tell you all about your fortunes
She knows everything there is to know
About hoodoo charms and fictions
And she'll answer any questions
You might care to ask
What to look for in your future
How to cover up your past
She said she found it likely
I'd be coming back there fast

There's nobody but a fool or a preacher
Would not love it in New Orleans
I said there's nobody but a fool or preacher
Would not love it in New Orleans

Look out
The Mardi Gras is coming up soon
I'm gonna be down the street
With the music and the booze
Them Cresecent City ladies
They love to tease and flirt
They steal your heart with one smile
And a flip of their skirt
They steal my heart with one smile
And a flip of their skirt
I'm gonna dance until I'm dizzy
And laugh until it hurts.
