The Les Cygnes Road
copyright 1986 by Victor Compton

I went down to the Les Cygnes Road,
comin' out of  New Orleans
Lookin' for the  House Of Love
And a riverboat queen.

'Cause sometimes when a man's alone,
Empty as a morning sky.....
If  he doesn't get some love,,
Somethin's gonna die.

Chorus:   And you can rock and roll all night,
               And you can drink and you can fight,
               And you can lay your money down
               And you can roll your luck around,  

Down on the Les Cygnes Road
When the moon is shining bright,
The price of love is never cheap
but it feels alright.

Chorus:

Down on the Les Cygnes Road
Shots are singing in the night,
While an old piano plays
In the delta moonlight.

note:  I would now sing  "lookin' for a cajun queen"  
           in the first verse of this song.
