Creole Angel

Mark Knopfler


Bottle rocket combo got a corner on the crowd
Under her old balcony above a bar called
The black cat prowl
Setts off memories how she laughed every time
Id break her silence with a piece of my mind
A callin

Creole angel come on down
Pray tell are you ready now? 
Dusty saint on the dashboard
Will bless the berth of my old ford
Creole angel northbound
Even now I hear the sound
Of open arms like wings apart
Taking off with a jump start
Creole angel my creole angel

Jump start baby

Its a jet stream of conscious
Out of body tale
Through the natchez trace
Like a vapor trail
We saw the steam rise and the mercury fall
Between new orleans and old montreal
I remember

Creole angel come on down
Pray tell are you ready now? 
Dusty saint on the dashboard
Will bless the berth of my old ford
Creole angel northbound
Even now I hear the sound
Of open arms like wings apart
Taking off with a jump start
Creole angel my creole angel
