Grayson Capps: 'Washboard Lisa'

Washboard Lisa

Standin' on the corner of Royal Street
On a Sunday afternoon
Out there by the old A & P
Barefoot in the sun of June
I saw her playin' with the Big Mess Band
With Augie Junior on guitar
I saw her play with John Mooney too
Uptown at Maddigan's Bar

Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins
Let them go down the drain
Everytime you move your dirty little hands
Takes away our fears and our pain

I said "hello" to her out there on the street
Boys, I looked into her eyes
She said that she knew Tom Robbins
Oh, I believed it was a lie
But how can New Orleans be so good
To a Lucky Strike smoking queen
With a rip in her dress and a dirty toes
Livin' life like a dream

Washboard Lisa, wash away your sins
Let them go down the drain
Everytime you move your dirty little hands
Takes away our fears and our pain
