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 the voodoo queens
From the heart of Louisiana
Marie Laveaux and Mojo Hannah
I grew up on the music of the streets
Second line bands and the Indian beats

Oh, woah
That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
Back on my stompin' ground

'Fesser longhair, Fats Domino
Smiley Lewis to Great Satchmo
From the Wild Tchoupitoulas to the creole wild west
You know that neither tribe didn't take no mess
From 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

Oh, woah
That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
Back on my stompin' ground

That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground

That's where it's going down
Back on my stompin' ground
Back on my stompin' ground
