Well I took a bus down to New Orleans
To join the Mardi Gras and be a part of the scene
Guitar in one hand, my songs in another
With money in my pocket, I'm bound to be smothered
I'm waiting for something to go down tonight
Playing on a corner 'till I see the light
I'm making lots of money before I know
And the police try to stop me during every show
Well I'm the busker here at Mardi Gras
And I've been playing all afternoon
I'm getting all my courage straight from God
And I'm bound to get in trouble soon
The songs never repeat, I'm giving something new
I play to everybody from many to few
I've got a man in white who's watching from up above
Every note I play or sing comes with love
Well I'm the busker here at Mardi Gras
And I've been playing all afternoon
I'm getting all my courage straight from God
And I'm bound to get in trouble soon
As soon as it's all over, I've got bills in my case
I take the bus back home, they forget my face
I spend what I've earned on a new set of strings
And wait until next year when I play all my things
Well I'm the busker here at Mardi Gras
And I've been playing all afternoon
I'm getting all my courage straight from God
And I'm bound to get in trouble soon
