Lyrics
I'm going down to New Orleans
drink some bourbon there
I'm going down to New Orleans
drink some whiskey there
I'm gonna lose my head
sleep in some strangers' bed
not remember a word I said
Down in New Orleans

I'm going down to New Orleans
sit by the Mississippi
I'm going down to New Orleans
sit by the Mississippi
I'm gonna jump in and get wet
oh I may not ever come back
but I'm gonna get wet.
Down in New Orleans

Down in New Orleans
land of my dreams
if you wake me up that's how it seems
Down in New Orleans

I'm going down to New Orleans
just about Mardi Gras
I'm going down to New Orleans
just about Mardi Gras
I'm gonna paint my face
throw away my suitcase
never leave a trace
Down in New Orlleans

Down in New Orleans
land of my dreams
if you wake me up I'm so inbetween
Down in New Orleans
