歌词
[Verse 1]
Well, I wish I was in New Orleans
I can see it in my dreams
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy
A bottle and my friends and me
[Verse 2]
Hoist up a few tall cool ones
Play some pool and listen
To that tenor saxophone calling me home
[Verse 3]
And I can hear the band begin
When the Saints Go Marching In
And by the whiskers on my chin
New Orleans, I'll be there
[Verse 4]
I'll drink you under the table
Be a red nose, go for walks
The old haunts, what I wants
Is red beans and rice
[Verse 5]
And wear the dress I like so well
Meet me at the old saloon
Make sure that there's a Dixie moon
New Orleans, I'll be there
[Verse 6]
And deal the cards, roll the dice
If it ain't that old Chuck E. Weiss
And Claiborne Avenue, me and you
Sam Jones and all
[Verse 7]
And I wish I was in New Orleans
'Cause I can see it in my dreams
Arm-and-arm down Burgundy
A bottle and my friends and me
New Orleans, I'll be there
