Wouldn’t you like to see an old Jean Lafitte?
And to take a trip in reverse dream?
And smell the scent of the water when you walk in
Board your vessel and hear a parrot’s call
As you leave the dock
with the portraits painted on the walls
See the fireflies and the misty skies
you’ll take the swamp where the houses lie
a banjo plays when you leave the scene
and you’ll enter into the blackened sea
This is where I go when I’m asleep
this is where I go when I dream
This is where I go when I’m asleep
that old sense of adventure is for me
Down a waterfall is where it begins
from the blue bayou under a burning bridge
it’s a pirate’s tale I will always sing
‘yo ho, yo ho’ is where I’d like to be
