The Big Easy Arrangement and Lyrics by Robert Rilling Broken Down and tired.. I really need some rest.. Right then a little vaca was high upon my list Called down to the airline, said, give me a ticket, please.. I need some distraction to put my mind at ease. The Big Easy I touched down in New Orleans.. must’ve been O, 8 0’clock.. I could see the Mardi Gra was startin’n up the block.. The limo driver was holdin’ a card with my name.. I’m lookin’ for some action, now take me where it’s played!! The Big Easy He pulled up to a Casino.. smack dab on Bourbon St.. Even though it was late, He said, “you’ll get a seat.” Sat down to a table.. he cracked a brand new deck “You need chips, a drink, and a woman.. Monsieur, I’ll do the rest. The Big Easy I was rakin’ in the numbers, I didn’t lose a hand.. The dealer was gettin’ nervous, Pit boss was lookin’ in.. “I’ll take 100 large ‘gainst what I got..” He said, "Ok, deal him in" The ladies ‘round the table looked up and saw his grin..... The Big Easy |

and I have to call "All In" with meager chips a pair dat say "all" I shuffle my three stack "all" dat's what I usedta be... let da river flow me sweet down dere on dat Bourban St. "Where you got dem shoes" he greets. "I got dem on my feet." defeat when dey gotta a glance... dey see. you got dem yer feet.   |

I like this well-painted picture of a man with action and relaxing on his mind. Well done. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
