lyrics

Little one walking around the corner
She got her heart set on love
Walking the neighborhood
Looking for nothing good
Got her eyes set on that little white dove

Colors of green and gold
Turning to midnight blue
Down in Louisiana

Shadows moving in and out under streetlights
Pavement shines in the night of a black and blue
Money's the face of love
The trick is to catch that dove
Clip that little bird's wings before he can fly

Colors of green and gold
Turning to midnight blue
Down in Louisiana

Little one looks like the queen of the neighborhood
Right around here that looks like a pretty good bet
Stealing the love she knows
The price for a pretty good show
She's gonna let that little bird fly

Colors of green and gold
Turning to midnight blue
Down in Louisiana
