      C         G     |       F      Em7 |
         On the water down in New Orleans
    |  C    G     |    F            Em7  |
         My baby's the pearl of the Quarter
     |  C        G       |           F     Em7  |

     | C           G     |           F           Em7 |
         Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay
     | C     G    |    F          Em7    |
         Red beans and rice for a quarter
     | C         G         |    F   Em7   |
         You can see her almost any day

         I walked alone down the miracle mile
     | C          G     |     F             Em7 |
         I met my baby by the shrine of the martyr
     | C              G     |        F     Em7 |
         She stole my heart with her cajun smile

      | C              G     |       F              Em7 |
         She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her
      | C              G     |          F      Em7 |
