“Rue Royale in New Orleans is one of the earliest and most important streets in the city and runs from the French Quarter to the 9th ward. The story of Jazz music evokes for me the occult ghosts of New Orleans figures like Marie Laveau and Jean LaFitte. “Royal Street Swingdown” is a 2nd line jazz funeral march penned to summon and commune with the already dead and future dead through the medium of music and dance.” - Steve Perry

Lyrics
Colonnaded veranda
Oaks drippin’ Spanish moss
Callin’ from a lovers tortured heart
There’s a coffin in the parlor
All the mirrors draped in black
This spell calls on Jean Lafitte
Old town swing down Royal Street (Royal Street)
Sorceress grave is fillin’ up with malt milk river
She’s one dazzlin’ face I been charmed to meet
Ravens squawkin’ in the ivy
With a message from my sweet
Wipe your bald head in this heat
Old town swing down on Royal street (Royal Street)
Help us swing that ass around in barrelhouse rhythm
Good bad stuff can happen with hot Marie (oh)
There’s a coffin in the parlor
All the mirrors draped in black
This spell calls on Jean Lafitte
Old town swing down Royal Street (Royal Street x4)
