New Orleans

I'm goin' down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine

I'm goin' down to New Orleans and leavin' all of this behind

Headin' south from Detroit I got Cajun cookin' on my mind

When I get to New Orleans someone gonna treat me right

Yeah in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right

I'll be high 10 Rollin' till the early morning break daylight

A jambalaya and a crawfish pie gonna start my day

But when the sun goes down we gonna "bon temps roulez"

Hey

I'm goin' down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine

I'm goin' down to New Orleans where the stars on the sidewalk shine

Burnin' through Mississippi with the Big Easy on my mind

When I get to New Orleans someone gonna treat me right

Yeah in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right

And I'm gonna party like the devil if the Neville brothers play tonight

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie gonna make my day

Down on the Bayou singing Hey Pocky Way

I'm goin' down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine

Down in New Orleans good peoples they's hard to find

I bet he's making gumbo and drinkin' homemade wine

A jukebox shakin' and breakin' down in New Orleans

I'll be the highest hillbilly that Bourbon Street has ever seen

Oh yeah, yeah

I'm goin' down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine

I'm goin' down to New Orleans and leavin' all of this behind

If the good Lord's willing and the rivers don't start to rise

And when I get to New Orleans someone's gonna treat me right

Said in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right

All the cats in the cradle gonna rock this kid tonight

Oh hey

A jukebox shakin' and breakin' down in New Orleans

And if you're payin' for fun a french quarters really all you need

Down to New Orleans

I'm going down to New Orleans

Down to New Orleans

I'm going down to New Orleans

Going down, down, down, down tonight

Down to New Orleans

I'm going down to New Orleans

Down to New Orleans

I'm going down to New Orleans

Going down, down, down, down tonight

Down to New Orleans

I'm going down to New Orleans

Down to New Orleans

I'm going down to New Orleans

Going down, down, down, down tonight
