Stompin' Ground - Aaron Neville, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band

I was born in the southern land

That’s where I became a man

My roots was down in New Orleans

The birth of jazz and voodoo queens

From the heart of Louisiana

Marie Laveaux, and Mojo Hannah

Grew up on the music of the streets

Second line bands and the indian beats

That’s where it’s going down

Back on my stompin' ground

Back on my stompin' ground

'Fesser longhair, Fats Domino

From Smiley Lewis, to the great Satchmo

From the wild tchoupitoulas, to the creole wild west

You know a Neither tribe didn’t take no mess

From the way up town in the thirteenth ward

The crescent city was my backyard

With Mac Rebennack, and Scarface John

Hung in the dew drop all night long

Ooh That’s where it’s going down yeah

Back on my stompin' ground

That’s where it’s going down yeah

Back on my stompin' ground

Back on my stompin' ground

Way down yonder in new orleans

The land of them creole queens

I sure love this southern town

It got me through lots of ups and downs

Times were bad, and times were good

I owe it all to my neighborhood

From the ninth ward to way uptown

Every block was my stomping ground

That’s where it’s going down

Back on my stompin' ground

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

That’s where it’s going down

Back on my stompin' ground
