Down In New Orleans - Early Version
New Orleans and Cajun queens
And Mississippi River boats
Rambling men and gambling men
The slickest ones afloat
Cotton fields and Southern belles
Are seen all over my dreams
But the prettiest girls in all of the world
Are down in New Orleans
I've been north to New York City
I've been south to Birmingham
Been west to San Francisco
I've been east to Boston Town
I've fought your mighty deserts
I've sailed your deep blue sea
But if I had my rathers
I'd rather be in New Orleans
New Orleans and Cajun queens
And Mississippi River boats
Rambling men and gambling men
The slickest ones afloat
Cotton fields and Southern belles
Are seen all over my dreams
But the prettiest girls in all of the world
Are down in New Orleans
Well, I've kissed the señoritas
In sunny Mexico
I've chased the pretty frawl eyes
Across the sea, you know
I've spent the night in Gay Paree
A decent history
But if I had my rathers
I'd rather be in New Orleans
New Orleans and Cajun queens
And Mississippi River boats
Rambling men and gambling men
The slickest ones afloat
Cotton fields and southern belles
Are seen all over my dreams
But the prettiest girls in all of the world
Are down in New Orleans
The prettiest girls in all of the world
Are down in New Orleans
And Mississippi River boats
Rambling men and gambling men
The slickest ones afloat
Cotton fields and Southern belles
Are seen all over my dreams
But the prettiest girls in all of the world
Are down in New Orleans
I've been north to New York City
I've been south to Birmingham
Been west to San Francisco
I've been east to Boston Town
I've fought your mighty deserts
I've sailed your deep blue sea
But if I had my rathers
I'd rather be in New Orleans
New Orleans and Cajun queens
And Mississippi River boats
Rambling men and gambling men
The slickest ones afloat
Cotton fields and Southern belles
Are seen all over my dreams
But the prettiest girls in all of the world
Are down in New Orleans
Well, I've kissed the señoritas
In sunny Mexico
I've chased the pretty frawl eyes
Across the sea, you know
I've spent the night in Gay Paree
A decent history
But if I had my rathers
I'd rather be in New Orleans
New Orleans and Cajun queens
And Mississippi River boats
Rambling men and gambling men
The slickest ones afloat
Cotton fields and southern belles
Are seen all over my dreams
But the prettiest girls in all of the world
Are down in New Orleans
The prettiest girls in all of the world
Are down in New Orleans
