Pearl Of The Quarter - Boz Scaggs

On the water down in New Orleans

My baby’s the pearl of the quarter

She’s a charmer like you never seen

Singing voulez voulez voulez vous

Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay

Red beans and rice for a quarter

You can see her almost any day

Singing voulez voulez voulez vous

And if you hear from my Louise

Won’t you tell her I said hello

Please make it clear

When her day is done

She got a place to go

I walked alone down the miracle mile

I met my baby by the shrine of the martyr

She stole my heart with her Cajun smile

Singing voulez voulez voulez vous

She loved the million dollar words I say

She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her

She said she loved me and was on her way

Singing voulez voulez voulez vous

And if you hear from my Louise

Won’t you tell her I love her so

Please make it clear

When her day is done

She got a place to go

And if you hear from my Louise

Won’t you tell her I love her so

Please make it clear

When her day is done

She got a place to go
