Port O' Call - Bertie Higgins[00:00:00]

I was born in Savannah '55[00:00:18]

My daddy was a man of the sea[00:00:21]

Said my mama died when she gave me my life[00:00:25]

I believed him 'cause he never lied to me[00:00:29]

And I followed in my old man's footsteps[00:00:33]

Living my life under the sail[00:00:37]

I've slept with the best and I've been drunk with the rest[00:00:41]

Fishing and fighting and raising hell[00:00:45]

Just another port o' call[00:00:49]

Another lady of the night[00:00:53]

Just upstairs and down the hall[00:00:57]

Faking love 'neath the red light[00:01:01]

Sailing 'cross the Gulf on that stormy night[00:01:07]

I was driven to New Orleans in the howling wind[00:01:11]

When I hit that devil dock I tied her down tight[00:01:15]

And went looking for a bottle and a friend[00:01:19]

That's when I saw her near Café d'l'Amour[00:01:23]

A faded flower out in the rain[00:01:27]

She smiled at me and said Bonjour Monsieur[00:01:31]

I was drawn to her like a moth to the flame[00:01:35]

Just another port o' call[00:01:39]

Another lady of the night[00:01:43]

Just upstairs and down the hall[00:01:47]

Faking love 'neath the red light[00:01:51]

We walked and we talked and as the night wore on[00:01:57]

She took me to her room above Bourbon Street[00:02:01]

Candlelight soft music perfume and red wine[00:02:05]

I paid the price to share her satin sheets[00:02:09]

But in the flickering light her locket caught my eye[00:02:12]

As it lay gleaming upon her breast[00:02:17]

It was fine Spanish silver with diamonds inlaid[00:02:21]

And as I reached for it she started to undress[00:02:25]

As I slowly opened it and took a look inside[00:02:31]

I saw a faded photograph my father and his young bride[00:02:37]

And on the back these simple words inscribed[00:02:43]

I love you Savannah '55[00:02:49]

Just another port o' call[00:02:54]

Another lady of the night[00:02:58]

Just upstairs and down the hall[00:03:02]

Faking love 'neath the red light[00:03:06]

Just another port o' call[00:03:10]

Another lady of the night[00:03:14]

Just upstairs and down the hall[00:03:18]

Faking love 'neath the red light[00:03:22]
