Fandango: Hotel La Rue [lyrics]

Fandango

Hotel La Rue

I was born on the wrong side of the city

I was raised on the wrong side of law

Well, my evil took its toll

And the devil took my soul

I was runnin' since I was old enough to walk

Well, I dreamed of a Saratoga filly

She was such a longshot

Called a Carolina Queen

I put my last two bits on the roan

When the Queen brought the bacon home

It was the sweetest sight

This poor boy has ever seen

Oh, goin' down to Hotel La Rue

Come on and put on your dancin' shoes

Gonna be high-steppin' tonight

Singin', "Goodbye, blues"

Sing it, sing it, sing it

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Gonna be high-steppin' tonight

Say goodbye to your blues

Oh, hey thеre, baby

You know I'm, I'm callin' you from the station

I gotta run

I can hear that southbound train callin' mе

Oh, I'm comin' home with all the money

Comin' home to love you, honey

And you know where to meet me

When I get back down to New Orleans

Yeah, we'll go down to Hotel La Rue

Where we can put on our dancin' shoes

Gonna be high-steppin' tonight

Say goodbye to your blues

Sing it, sing it, yeah

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Come on, come on, come on

High-steppin' tonight

Goin' down Hotel La Rue

Yeah, you can put on your dancin' shoes

Gonna be high-steppin' tonight

Singin' goodbye to your blues

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sing it, sing it, sing it

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on

High-steppin' tonight
