Tin roof blues             WaIter Melrose / New Orleans Rhythm Kings

Intro

I have seen the bright lights burning up and down on Broadway,

seen ‘em in gay Havana, Birmingham, Alabama and say:

They just can't compare with my home town  New Orleans

Verse

‘Cause there you'll find the old tin roof cafe

where they play the blues till break of day

fascinatin' babies hangin' 'round dancin' to the meanest band in town

Lord, how they can play the blues

And when the leader man starts playin' low

folks get up and start to walk it slow

do a lot of movements hard to beat till the old floorman says move your feet

Lord, I' ve got those tin roof blues

Break

Tomorrow evenin' my train is leavin' I'm going back to my sweet mama

Tomorrow evenin' just like a breeze I’ll blow

Back to old New Orleans where jazzin' babies grow
