about

A bhangra-esque (emphasis on “esque”) song about the coldest night of the year in New Orleans. Fiddle and vocals by Marie-Isabelle Pautz. And yes, Pete's Out In The Cold is over in the Irish Channel and nowhere near Bayou Road. The bar's name fit with the ice-cold bent of the song. Songwriter's prerogative. Perhaps you don't dig...

lyrics

Quiet Seventh Ward streets tonight
mercury deep freeze warning outside
bring in the cats better wrap up the pipes
towel foam and tape best wrap ‘em up tight

live oaks won’t save you from the bitter winds
Pete’s Out In The Cold Kevin buzz you in
leave the crazy somewhere else down the riverside
it’s the coldest ever been in New Orleans tonight

‘neath the I-10 men turn from the freezing cold
Claiborne krewes party bus dreams bought and sold
Bayou Road lost souls stumble through the mist
looking for their wallet and a warm wet kiss

Shooting stars when the shooting starts
shooting stars when the shooting starts
shooting stars when the shooting starts
shooting stars when the shooting starts
shooting stars when the shooting starts
