Biography:
Hurray for the Riff Raff is an Americana band from New Orleans, Louisiana. It was formed by Alynda Segarra, a Puerto Rican singer-songwriter from the Bronx, New York, after she had moved to New Orleans in 2007.
After leaving home at an early age to travel the country, Segarra eventually settled in New Orleans where she began to perform and record with a revolving cast of musicians. She released two records (2008's It Don't Mean I Don't Love You and 2010's Young Blood Blues) mostly consisting of delicate folk and country songs.

G C
I've got her cane
G C
And Big Danny is wasted
G C
He said I'm the sweetest thing
G C
Oh that he's never tasted
G C
Mariposa's singing love songs
G C
All in her dark apartment
G C
Fourteen floors a'birthin
G C
And fourteen floors a'dying
[Chorus]

Livin' in the city

We're just livin' in the city

Well it's hard, it's hard, it's hard
[Verse 2]
G C
Oh I'll take you to the stairwell
G C
And I give you something I can offer
G C
You know the heart is not the hopeless
G C
The heart is a lonely hunter
G C
Hot long summer days
G C
We're just sneakin' by the river
C C
Oh, I'll lock my dreams away
G C
And I'll watch the city quiver
[Chorus]

Gypsy bit the dust
G
You know the shitty hat - it was poisoned
G
Now everybody wants

Just a taste of what we sold him
G C
Standing on the roof tops

We're just yellin' till the morning
G C
All surrounded by the visions
G C
Of all who came before them
[Chorus]

Livin' in the city
