Story Behind the Song
THIS SONG WAS INSPIRED BY AN INTEREST IN THE LIFE OF THE CLASSIC BLUES MUSICIANS. THE LURE OF THE PLACES THEY PLAYED AND CHARACTERS WHOSE PATHS THEY CROSSED CONJURED UP THE ROADHOUSE CALLED "MADAME ROUX'S".
SONG WRITERS TIM LEDGER AND MIKE BYRNE
Lyrics
THERE'S A RUN DOWN ROADHOUSE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SHANTY TOWN.
WHERE CHEAP MALT LIQOUR AND PAINTED LADIES CAN BE FOUND.
SMOKE FILLED AIR WHEN YOU WALK ON IN,
THE BARTENDER'S BREATH IT STINKS OF GIN.
WELCOME TO "MADAME ROUX'S"!
DERBY WEARIN' DUDE IN THE CORNER HITTIN' 88'S
PLAYIN HONKY TONK WHILE SIITIN ON A SHIPPIN' CRATE.
LOAN SHARK SITTIN' AT THE END OF THE BAR,
FOR ALL THE GAMBLERS WHO'VE TAKEN THEIR BETS TOO FAR
WELCOME TO "MADAME ROUX'S"!
THE LOCAL SHERRIFF DON'T STOP, HE JUST KIND OF DRIVES ON BY.
AS LONG AS HE VACATIONS IN LAS VEGAS ON HIS MONTHLY BRIBE.
THE BAR ROOM BRAWLS HAVE TAKEN THEIR TOLL
THE ROOF IT LEAKS FROM BULLET HOLES
WELCOME TO "MADAME ROUX'S"!
