New Orleans

Have you ever been down to New Orleans

Lord, lord, them crazy queens

Crying the blues is what they do down there

Fortune teller, he knows your name

Fortune teller, he'll tell you your game

Crying the blues, that's what they do down there

Money dripping from a willow tree

He never want me

Lazy bones, I ain't got a dime

Just biding my time

If I find a way to choose

New Orleans, where they're crying the blues

Drinking bourbon from a dixie cup

Hanging out till the sun comes up

Crying the blues is what they do down there

French women, all I need

Up and down old Bourbon Street

Crying the blues is what they do down there

If I find a way to choose

New Orleans, where they're singing the blues
