Creole Girl
written by Allan Taylor
sung by Allan Taylor


Call it a journey of memories
A journey to bring back the time
Through the days of wild abandon
When a young man was in his prime
Call it hopeless fancy
Trying to capture some long lost dreams
When you fell for the dark-eyed Creole girl
Who came from New Orleans

Take in the Latin Quarter
And search for a familiar name
But Paris has changed since you left her
And nothing much looks the same
Phify's café's now a strip club
With the "Arabian Dancing Queens"
But not one can compare with the Creole girl
Who came from New Orleans

Perhaps it was too much to wish for
Sometimes it's best to move on
But just for the sake of the memory
I'll take a drink for the days long gone
I went into the Café Chanson
And watched the word
through tobacco stained screens
I though of the dark-eyed Creole girl
Who came from New Orleans

"Bonsoir Monsieur" said the waitress
"What can I get for you?"
I said "Excuse me for asking this question
But you remind me of someone I knew"
She laughed as if I was crazy
This young girl just out of her teens
But she looked like the dark-eyed Creole girl
Who came from New Orleans

I stayed ‘til the bar had emptied
And we shared a bottle of wine
I said "I'm just trying to capture a memory
Of love in a different time"
She said "Maybe you think of my mother
We look so much alike it seems
She was know as the dark-eyed Creole girl
Who came from New Orleans"

How I love the dark-eyed Creole girl
Who came from New Orleans
