Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the night leaves the Quarter
And the dawn's light kisses the river
That's the time when I first saw her
My darlin', she was wobblin'
Down Esplanade
[Verse 2]
See her stop, sway and shimmy
What she got, she got plenty
Is she sought out? Oh, by so many
My darlin', and she's wobblin'
Down Esplanade
[Chorus]
Lord, ain't she somethin'?
Lost in the rhythm
What I'd give her to walk with her
Lord, to kiss her
As she wobbles down Esplanade
[Instrumental]
Lord, ain't she somethin'?
Lost in the rhythm
What I'd give her to walk with her
Lord, to kiss her
As she wobbles
Down Esplanade
And she's wobblin'
Down Esplanade
