I copied these lyrics from Paul Sanchez's web site:

FOOT OF CANAL STREET
Words and music by John Boutté and Paul Sanchez

1. Don't waste your time being angry when a moment's better with a smile.
If you feel you're time's been wasted, waste it here a while,
Standing at that bus stop just across from Krauss,^[1]
Waiting for the driver to take me to my heavenly house.

CHORUS: I'll see you there. (at the foot of Canal Street)
What will you wear? (at the foot of Canal Street)
Will the band be playing? (at the foot of Canal Street)
What will the people be saying? (at the foot of Canal Street)
Does your father lie there? Does your mother pray there?
I'm going to put on my golden crown at the foot of Canal Street.

2. When the levee banks have overflowed and the streetcar has seen its day
When all is gone—the plantations, the Tremé and the Vieux Carré—
I'll be swinging to that music way up on higher ground
Where Pops is blowing "Walk On"^[2] with Gabriel making sacred sounds. CHORUS

1. Iconic department store that closed in 1997.
2. There are several songs with the same title, and several musicians called "Pops." I haven't figured out which ones are referred to here. Maybe one of the songwriters was referring to his own father?
