[Verse 1]
Hey, Uncle Louie, I wrote you a song
I'm glad you got your heart out of pawn
I'm glad you got your king out of check
Least that's how things stood when I saw you last
[Verse 2]
It was New Orleans before the flood
You had just met a girl, you were falling in love
She lived on the levee and knew the blues
And played harmonica better than you
[Chorus]
In a neighborhood bar
In the middle of summer
Shoulder to shoulder
Setting like sister and brother
All of the sorrows you told each other
Rose like smoke from the room
[Verse 3]
The heat and the bourbon was in your head
You were talking in tongues, you were back from the dead
And the girl and the city were one and the same
And last call never came
Hey, Uncle Louie, I wrote you a song

I'm glad you got your king out of check

You were talking in tongues, you were back from the dead
And the girl and the city were one and the same
And last call never came
