New Orleans
Music and lyrics by Dale Sechrest

There’s a boy on the corner talkin’ ‘bout his girl in New Orleans.
He says he’s got himself the prettiest woman that he’s ever seen.
Well I don’t know if it’s right, but I think I may be leavin’ tonight.
I’m gonna get that little woman that lives down in New Orleans.


Won’t you listen to me doctor won’t you give me somethin’ I can use?
I got this pain in my heart and for so long I’ve been singing the blues.
Well I don’t know if it’s right, but I think I may be leavin’ tonight.
I’m gonna get that little woman that lives down in New Orleans.

We’ll I’ve been dreamin’ ‘bout this woman for so long.
And the way I dream there’s no way I can go wrong.
Well I don’t know if it’s right, but I think I may be leavin’ tonight.
I’m gonna get that little woman that lives down in New Orleans.

Now my bags are all packed, buddy, I’m ready to go.
I’m leaving out on the four-fifteen I hope it don’t go slow.
Well I don’t know if it’s right, but I think I may be leavin’ tonight.
I’m gonna get that little woman that lives down in New Orleans.
Well I don’t know if it’s right, but I think I may be leavin’ tonight.
I’m gonna get that little woman that lives down in New Orleans.

I’m gonna get that little woman that lives down in New Orleans.
