Lyrics

To in you, I'll be persuaded
To walk through a swamp untamed
And when hope has all but faded
I think without a word of complaint
I'll gladly remove my sandals
Walk barefoot on flame and candles
And when I'm too hot to handle
I'll burn without a word of complaint
To show just what you mean to me
Where there is danger, that's where I'll be
A several snap of your fingers dear
Can make a coward like me lose all my feelings
In New Orleans, yeah, boys and kisses
I kiss them to learn what lessons
I'd whisper what heaven this is
And then I'd die without a word of complaint
In New Orleans, yeah, boys and kisses
I kiss them to learn what lessons
I'd whisper what heaven this is
And then I'd die without a word of complaint
Oh yeah, I'd die without a word of complaint
One more time
I'd die without a word of complaint
Written by: Duke Ellington, George David Weiss, Johnny Hodges
