Текст песни
I was born in Savannah '55
Daddy was a man of the sea
Said my mama died when she gave me my life
Believed him 'cause he never lied to me
And I followed in my old man's footsteps
Livin' my life under the sail
I've slept with the best and I've been drunk with the rest
Fishin' and fightin' and raisin' hell
Just another port o' call
Another lady of the night
Just upstairs and down the hall
Makin' love 'neath the red light
Sailin' 'cross the gulf on that stormy night
I was driven to New Orleans in the howlin' wind
When I hit that Delta dock, I tied her down tight
Went lookin' for a bottle and a friend
That's when I saw her near Café de l'Amour
A faded flower out in the rain
She smiled at me and said, "Bonjour, monsieur"
I was drawn to her like a moth to the flame
Just another port o' call
Another lady of the night
Just upstairs and down the hall
Makin' love 'neath the red light
We walked and we talked and as the night wore on
She took me to a room above Bourbon Street
Candlelight, soft music, perfume and red wine
I paid the price to share her satin sheets
But in the flickerin' light, a locket caught my eye
As it lay gleamin' upon her breast
It was fine Spanish silver with diamonds inlaid
As I reached for it, she started to undress
And as I slowly opened it and took a look inside
I saw a faded photograph, my father and his young bride
And on the back these simple words inscribed
"I love you, Savannah '55"
Just another port o' call
Another lady of the night
Just upstairs and down the hall
Makin' love 'neath the red light
Just another port o' call
Another lady of the night
Just upstairs and down the hall
Makin' love 'neath the red light
