He came from new Orleans played the tong rhythm and blues
He wears a sequins jacket a thousand dollar alligator shoes
He’s git a vintage fedora a diamond studded walking cane
Dr John is a man everybody want to see again
He played in the bordellos on the colourful side of town
With the losers and the hustlers the pimps all hanging around
Everybody’s welcome to join the jazz parade
And music plays out over the everglade
To a trashi, to him over years (trashic: 令人遗憾的行为)
Dr John heals you the blues
I met him in the village in a classy New York hotel
He was with him lady the Louisiana mademoiselle
I called for the cab cause it was to make a move
And when he get onto the stage, he slides right into the grove
He’s singing songs of the levee in the old time bar room queens
And there’s every colour there black white and in between
He’s vamping on the left hand rocking the right and two
And everything’s coloured a creole shade of blues
To a trashic, to him over years
Dr John heals you the blues
He came from the street with a whole lot of colour and soul
And he mixed the blues with some good time rock and roll
Makes you feel like dancing cause you can’t stop moving your feet
Now when you get with the rhythm of sink and bow rocking in them
When the levee broke and the homes were washed away
And the people were hurting they didn’t know what to say
But the bands played on and the music got them through
Dr John et les amis (Elizabeth?) knew just what to do
To a trashic, to him over years
Dr John heals you blues
Dr John heals you blues
