Port O Call - Bertie Higgins[00:00:01]

Written by：Bertie Higgins/Sonny Limbo[00:00:03]

I was born in Savannah '55[00:00:17]

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

Said my mama died[00:00:25]

When she gave me my life[00:00:26]

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[00:00:54]

Just upstairs and down the hall[00:00:58]

Faking love 'neath the red light[00:01:02]

Sailing 'cross the Gulf[00:01:07]

On that stormy night[00:01:09]

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

When I hit that devil dock[00:01:15]

I tied her down tight[00:01:17]

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

That's when I saw her near Cafe d'l'Amour[00:01:24]

A faded flower out in the rain[00:01:28]

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[00:01:44]

Just upstairs and down the hall[00:01:48]

Faking love 'neath the red light[00:01:52]

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[00:02:13]

As it lay gleaming upon her breast[00:02:18]

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[00:02:36]

My father and his young bride[00:02:39]

And on the back these simple words inscribed[00:02:42]

I love you Savannah '55[00:02:46]

Just another port o' call[00:02:52]

Another lady of the night[00:02:56]

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

Faking love 'neath the red light[00:03:04]

Just another port o' call[00:03:08]

Another lady of the night[00:03:12]

Just upstairs and down the hall[00:03:16]
