New Orleans

Stepped off the bus, suitcase in my hands

Headin' down to Espanade

Took no time to find my friends

Laughed and drinkin' in the rain

You got more glitter and a lot more glam

Than Hollywood has its fame

And holdin' you is the best damn thing

No one's ever takin' that away

I said..

Hey missus, won't you stand by me, now?

Give me a little time?

Hey missus, won't you stand by me, now?

Show me how to turn it upside down?

I said..

I fell in love down in New Orleans

And I found myself inside

I fell in love down in New Orleans

When you showed me all those lives

Alright

Black on black, I was dressed to thrill

I made my way down the line

Hearts are poundin', and Elvis singin'

You were always on my mind

Well, darlin' now don't forget

I'll always love your style

Well, darlin, now don't forget

I'll always love your smile

I said..

Hey missus, won't you stand by me, now?

Give me a little time?

Hey missus, won't you stand by me, now?

Show me how to turn it upside down?

I said..

I fell in love down in New Orleans

And I found myself inside

I fell in love down in New Orleans

When you showed me all those lives

I fell in love down in New Orleans

And I found myself inside

I fell in love down in New Orleans

When you showed me all those lives

I fell in love down in New Orleans

And I found myself inside

I fell in love down in New Orleans

When you showed me all those lives

I fell in love down in New Orleans

And I found myself inside

Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin',

You showed me all those lives
