New Orleans
The way your hair falls across your breasts is driving me wild
Where have you been all my life, the devil's in your smile
It could be all the rum, or maybe it's the blow
That's got me to the point of where I'm letting it all go
You came to me wearing nothing
But your Fat Tuesday and your rosary beads
I ain't seen an angel like you
Since I left New Orleans
It ain't the first time I've been played for a fool
People blow right through my life, and that's a rule
When I heard you knocking, I was more than surprised
By the looks of longing and the lust in your eyes
You came to me wearing nothing
But your Fat Tuesday and your rosary beads
I ain't seen an angel like you
Since I left New Orleans
New Orleans
When the smoke and the fire settles, will I find you by my side
Or will I find you and my wallet gone in the morning light
I'm a sucker and a tool, surely you must know
Tonight I'm holding on real tight, and not letting you go
You came to me wearing nothing
But your Fat Tuesday and your rosary beads
I ain't seen an angel like you
Since I left New Orleans
New Orleans
Where have you been all my life, the devil's in your smile
It could be all the rum, or maybe it's the blow
That's got me to the point of where I'm letting it all go
You came to me wearing nothing
But your Fat Tuesday and your rosary beads
I ain't seen an angel like you
Since I left New Orleans
It ain't the first time I've been played for a fool
People blow right through my life, and that's a rule
When I heard you knocking, I was more than surprised
By the looks of longing and the lust in your eyes
You came to me wearing nothing
But your Fat Tuesday and your rosary beads
I ain't seen an angel like you
Since I left New Orleans
New Orleans
When the smoke and the fire settles, will I find you by my side
Or will I find you and my wallet gone in the morning light
I'm a sucker and a tool, surely you must know
Tonight I'm holding on real tight, and not letting you go
You came to me wearing nothing
But your Fat Tuesday and your rosary beads
I ain't seen an angel like you
Since I left New Orleans
New Orleans
