Stompin’ Ground Aaron Neville

[Verse 1]
I was born in the southern land
That's where I became a man
My roots was down in New Orleans
The birth of jazz and voodoo queens
From the heart of Louisiana
Marie Laveaux, and Mojo Hannah
Grew up on the music of the streets
Second line bands and the Indian beats

[Chorus]
That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
Back on my stompin' ground

[Verse 2]
'Fesser longhair, Fats Domino
From Smiley Lewis, to the Great Satchmo
From the Wild Tchoupitoulas to the creole Wild West (You know)
Neither tribe didn't take no mess
From the way up town in the Thirteenth Ward
The Crescent City was my backyard
With Mac Rebennack, and Scarface John
Hung in the Dew Drop all night long

[Chorus]
Ooh That's where it's going down yeah
Back on my stompin' ground
That's where it's going down yeah
Back on my stompin' ground
Back on my stompin' ground
