Aaron Neville - Stompin' Ground Lyrics
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
Grew up on the music of the streets
Second line bands and the Indian beats
That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
‘Fesser Longhair, Fats Domino
From Smiley Lewis, to the Great Satchmo
From the Wild Tchoupatoulas,
to the Creole Wild
Neither tribe didn't take no mess
From way up town in the Thirteenth ward
The Crescent City was my back yard
With Mac Rebennack and Scarface John
Hung in the Dew Drop all night long
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
Way down yonder in New Orleans
The land of them creole queens
I sure love this southern town
It got me through a lot of ups and downs
Times were bad and times were good
I owe it all to my neighborhood
From the Ninth ward, to way uptown
Every block was my stompin’ grounds
That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
Mole Face and Melvin, Billy Beat the World
Trecherous Slim, Secondline Black
Big Chief Jolly, Ratty Chin
Brother Jake, Apache Red
Stackalee, James Booker
Marvin and Johnny, Art the Mighty Row
Hornman, Jabby Izzy Koo
That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
Calliope Project, Magnolia
St. Thomas, Pilot Land, St. Bernard
Melpomine – Yeah
Sometimes them streets was mean, can ya dig?
But that was my stompin’ ground, where y’at, Jack?
