Second and Dryades

Yes

I'm going to tell you how the story goes

So meet me that morning

Down on the corner

On Second and Dryades

Yes

I'm an engine revving now

Here come the engines

Second and Dryades

I'm gon' tell the story now

I remember that morning

There's Indians coming

I said the drums are ringing, oh

When the tambourine ring

I'm an engine revving now

Down on Second and Dryades

Strike without a warning

And I did not bow down, it was Mardi Gras morning

I said, "Who ready? Who ready for them engines?"

Gon' set them on fire, set 'em on fire

(I see we're jumping, more shouting)

I'm an engine revving now

On Second and Dryades

I'm an engine revving now

On Second and Dryades, yes
