Back To New Orleans

Pardon me sir, you've got a dime?
I'm trying to find my way back to New Orleans
Broke down and fallen on hard times
I need just one kind favor to get back on my feet

Lost my ticket for a Greyhound bus
When it left me in the dust and gone away
Man at the station says, "Boy, get lost"
Start going your own way

I'm walking 40 days and night under the Texas sun
Won't someone help me, please?
Pardon me sir, you've got a dime?
I'm trying to find my way back to New Orleans

I did my time in Baton Rouge, Birmingham and Houston too
But all I ever seen
Was weary faces just like mine
Waiting in endless lines just trying to find a seat

Lost the tickets for the Greyhound bus
When it left them in the dust and gone away
Now all they're asking, is for you to help their cause
'Cause they're going a long way

They're walking 40 days and nights, under the Texas sun
Won't someone help them, please?
Spare just a dollar or a dime
They're trying to find their way back to New Orleans

They're walking 40 days and nights
And only just begun to reach our destiny
Still got a long hill left to climb
Come on, let's find our way back to New Orleans
Come on, let's find our way
Come on, let's find our way
Come on, let's find our way
