stompin' ground - aaron neville & the dirty dozen brass band lyrics

stompin’ ground lyrics
[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
i grew up on the music of the streets
second line bands and the indian beats

[chorus]
ooh, woah*oh
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 that neither tribe didn’t take no mess
from 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, woah*oh
that’s where it’s going down
back on my stompin’ ground
that’s where it’s going down
back on my stompin’ ground
back on my stompin’ ground

[instrumental break]

[outro]
mole face and melvin, billy beat the world
trecherous slim, secondline black
big chief jolly and ratty chin
apache red, brother jake
stackalee, james booker
marvin and johnny, art the mighty row
h*rnman, jabby, izzy koo, yeah

[chorus]
it’s where it’s going down
back on my stompin’ ground
it’s where it’s going down
back on my stompin’ ground
(back on my)
it’s where it’s going down
back on my stompin’ ground
back on my stompin’ ground
[outro]
calliope project, magnolia
st. thomas, pilot land, st. bernard
melpomene, yeah
sometimes them streets was mean
can you dig?
but that was my stompin’ ground
where ya at, jack?
