Thank you in anticipation Poppagator for the lyrics and your background to Milneberg. It sounds as though you're in/around NO so to you the Dr John patois will be easy/easier to follow. I do wish someone would post ALL his lyrics on line as just about every song of his which I don't understand are the very ones that are not there, eg Milneburg Joys. I recently listened to the original by the NORK and now realise that he has virtually written another melody as well. Apart from about the first two bars of the chorus there seems no similarity between the two, like his reworking of "Irene Goodnight". I saw him in Melbourne (Australia) a few years ago at an old theatre and he was so loud a small piece of plaster shook loose from the ceiling and donged someone on the head! All part of the show...
