Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

To see about a friend of mine

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

And leavin' all of this behind

Headin' south from Detroit

I got Cajun cookin' on my mind

[Verse 2]

When I get to New Orleans

Someone gonna treat me right

In a town like New Orleans

Someone gonna treat me right

I'll be high 10 rollin'

Till the early morning break daylight

[Verse 3]

A jambalaya and a crawfish pie are gonna start my day

But when the sun goes down, we gonna bon temps rouler

Hey

[Verse 4]

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

To see about a friend of mine

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

Where the stars on the sidewalk shine

Burnin' through Mississippi

With the Big Easy on my mind

[Verse 5]

When I get to New Orleans

Someone gonna treat me right

Yeah, in a town like New Orleans

Someone gonna treat me right

And I'm gonna party like the devil

If the Neville Brothers play tonight

[Verse 6]

A jambalaya and a crawfish pie are gonna make my day

Down on the Bayou singing, hey pocky way

[Verse 7]

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

To see about a friend of mine

Down to New Orleans

Good peoples, they's hard to find

[Verse 8]

I bet he's making gumbo and drinkin' homemade wine

A jukebox shakin' and breakin', down in New Orleans

I'll be the highest hillbilly that Bourbon Street has ever seen

Oh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 9]

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

To see about a friend of mine

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

And leavin' all of this behind

If the good Lord's willing

And the rivers don't start to rise

[Verse 10]

And when I get to New Orleans

Someone gonna treat me right

Said, in a town like New Orleans

Someone gonna treat me right

All the cats in the cradle

Gonna rock this kid tonight

Oh, hey

[Verse 11]

A jukebox shakin' and breakin', down in New Orleans

And if you're payin' for fun

The French Quarter's really all you need

[Verse 12]

Down to New Orleans

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

Down to New Orleans

Down to New Orleans, yeah

Goin' down, (down), down, (down)

Down, downtown, tonight

[Verse 13]

Down to New Orleans

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

Down to New Orleans

Down to New Orleans, yeah

Goin' down, (down), down, (down)

Down, downtown, tonight

[Verse 14]

I said, down to New Orleans

I'm goin' down to New Orleans

Down to New Orleans, yeah

Down to New Orleans

Goin' down, (down), down, (down)

Down, downtown, tonight
