Rue Bourbon

Hannah Murphy  August 23, 2008

Met a voodoo king

Said he liked my hat

Down on Rue Orleans

Said  "take it easy chicky

           Life ain't too bad

           Here 'mongst the voodoo queens

           Was there on Rue Bourbon

            I found my wife

            A human bird, she sings

            Bout the Angels and the devils

            Walkin' Rue Bourbon at night

            With the ghosts of old, New Orleans."

The image of Angels and Devils walking down the same street and tipping their hats hello?

Quite an image.

I actually did meet a Voodoo King but I met him on Rue Bourbon not Rue Orleans. He gave each of us, (WB, Pup, and me) a good luck talisman. Said that it would keep us safe from our troubles. Met him in December before Katrina. I wonder if  that Voodoo King had his own talisman. I hope so.

Oh and we met cause he said he liked my hat.

Funny.

I'm glad that you are enjoying what I wrote.

Thanks for the quote too.

What song? I've not found the lyrics yet.

(Note: Found the song. Thank you for the title. It is indeed Please Call Me, Baby. Relationships are complicated. I think that my Mother is easier to understand.)
