I'm gonna go down to New Orleans
See the sun set red & gold on a ribbon of green
Ol' Missus Mississippi, muddy as my memory
Oh, hear that horn blow
Creole lady gonna save my, save my soul
She gonna save my soul
Spent too long living here with the ghosts of my regrets
But she is callin' me and,
Her sweet arms are gonna help me forget
Oh, hear that horn blow
If I don't make it, you can take me,
Make 'em play me that sweet blues for my soul
As they lay me down low
(Instrumental)
I've had enough of bein' frozen to the bone
Gimme Louisiana sunshine, jumbalaya on the stove
Big Easy, she'll receive me, leave me feelin' like I'm right at home
I'm gonna have me some bourbon dans La Vieux Carre
Pardonnez-moi, messeur, but, laissez-les bons-temps roulez!
Oh, hear that horn blow,
Creole lady gonna save my, save my soul,
She gonna save my soul
I'm gonna have me some bourbon dans La Vieux Carre
Pardonnez-moi, messieur, but, laissez-les bons-temps roulez!
Oh, I'm gonna go,
If I don't make it, you can take me,
Make 'em play me that sweet blues for my soul
As they lay me down low
…
Play a dirge as I go,
Let the sun bleach my bones
