Can you hear me? Can you hear me running?
"I Wish I Was In Bromford"
Well, I wish I was in Bromford, I can see it in my dreams,
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me
Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listen
To that tenor saxophone calling me home
And I can hear the band begin "When the Saints Go Marching In",
And by the whiskers on my chin, Bromford, I'll be there
I'll drink you under the table, be red-nosed, go for walks,
The old haunts what I wants is red beans and rice
And wear the dress I like so well, and meet me at the old saloon,
Make sure that there's a Dixie moon, Bromford, I'll be there
And deal the cards roll the dice, if it ain't that old Chuck E. Weiss,
And Claiborne Avenue, me and you Sam Jones and all
And I wish I was in Bromford, 'cause I can see it in my dreams,
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me
Bromford, I'll be there
New Orleans...
