Songfacts:

Tipitina was composed by Professor Longhair (* 1918 in Bogalusa, Louisiana, +1980 in New Orleans, Louisiana, real name Roy Bird), one of the role models of Dr. John. The song was recorded in 1953 for Atlantic Records. The meaning and the origin of the piece are in the dark. It has become a New Orleans standard that many have covered, including Allen Toussaint, James Booker, and Hugh Laurie. Jazzinotes has another cover version here: by Matthew Ball.
