Orlean Dream



Crisp the cajun breezes
Raise the bayou's hidden choir
Pealing off the cold

Dark in the rearview
Driven off on delta tides
Ebb the rain of night

Jazz on the sunrise
Lifting sound from old time blues
New songs of morning 

Jambalaya calls
A promise to her children
Orleans shall not fall

Seas of man called home
In saintly celebration 
All arise as one 

Toss away your beads
Bourbon flows a fresh new wine
None are forgotten
-Hermit King-
