Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standin' on the corner of Royal Street
On a Sunday afternoon
Out there by the old A & P
Barefoot in the sun in June
I saw her playin' with the big {mass} band
With old Gate Junior on guitar
I saw her play with John and Mooney too
Uptown at Maddigan's Bar
[Verse 2]
Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins
Let 'em go down the drain
Every time you move your dirty little hands
Takes away your fears and your pain
[Verse 3]
I said "Hello" to her out there on the street
Boys, I looked into her eyes
She said that she knew Tom Robin
Oh, but I believed it was a lie
But how can New Orleans be so good
To a Lucky Strike smoking queen?
With a rip in her dress and dirty toes
Livin' life like a dream
[Verse 4]
Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins
Let 'em go down the drain
Every time you move your dirty little hands
Takes away your fears and your pain
[Verse 5]
Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins
Let 'em go down the drain
Every time you move your dirty little hands
Takes away our fears and our pain
