VS1 I've got a great big house in Audubon,
A maid to shine my silver when I'm gone,
But I would give it all away to stroll with you
Chorus Down In The Quarter,
We never get older,
Sippin life like a fine wine,
It's honey on the vine
Vs2 Darkeyed lady on a terrace high,
Smilin' down on us as we walk by
She saw me kiss you soft beneath the light,
Chorus Down in the quarter,
We never get older,
Sippin' life like a fine wine,
It's honey on the vine
Refrain I find myself longing to find it again,
The love I lost, on the streets of New Orleans
Vs3 Darkness falls on the quarter moon,
For me it always comes much too soon,
I sit alone and wonder where you are,
Chorus Down in the quarter,
We never get older,
Sippin' life like a fine wine,
It's honey on the vine
Down in the quarter
