Will I be kicking the breeze, hanging on St. Will I shine like a star, bright as the eyes can see? (Mama don’t cry!) Ten years from now, where will I be? (Mama don’t cry!) They say they’re certain there’s no cure for AIDS, but that’s a lie (Mama don’t cry!) Living in the Sixth, baby, do or die (Mama don’t cry!)ĭrugs and prostitution, people will die (Mama don’t cry!) Wipe your weary eyes, mama don’t cry (Mama don’t cry!) Who that shot D-Boy? Gotta get him, gotta get him! Tenth Ward tried to get me! Sixth Ward roll with me! Rebirth tried to get me! Rascals roll with me! The album included traditional tunes like “Paul Barbarin’s Second Line,” “Panama Rag,” “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and several spiritual tunes like “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” The band’s emphasis on traditional tunes was somewhat unusual for a modern brass band, although faster tempos hinted at the band’s direction.Īfter Streets of the City established Lil’ Rascals’ ability to play traditional brass band repertoire, their 2001 album Buck It Like A Horse added a host of progressive songs to the tradition. “ Knock with Me – Rock with Me” showcased Glen David Andrews’ vocals about competition among the city’s brass bands, the prevalence of music and dance, neighborhood allegiances, and the issues affecting many of those neighborhoods, including violence and drug use. After playing around New Orleans for several years, the band released We Shall Walk Through the Streets of the City in 1998 (Got Fire Music). The Lil’ Rascals Brass Band began playing in the late 1990s, led by trombonist Corey Henry.
