Lyrics My Little Old Home Down in New Orleans - Jimmy Rodgers

My Little Old Home Down in New Orleans

I had a gal, oh, what a gal, her name was Haydee Brown
I’d take her out, to ride about, when the moon was shining down
We’d sit alone, when we got home, out in the old porch swing
Then the dear little miss, would give me a kiss, while sweetly to her I would
sing:
Oh, Haydee, my little lady, I love no one but you
Oh, Haydee, my little lady, won’t you love me, too?
We’ll get married in June, and have a long honeymoon, then settle down for life
Oh, Haydee, my little lady, won’t you be my wife?
I had a gal, oh, what a pal, she left me alone one day
I didn’t mind, because I find, they most always do you that way
So, I went about to try n' find out, if another gal I couldn’t find
In less than a day, I’d met Sadie Mae, now I hand her the same old line:
Oh, Sadie, my little lady, I love no one but you
Oh, Sadie, my little lady, won’t you love me, too?
We’ll get married in June, and have a long honeymoon, then settle down for life
Oh, Sadie, my little lady, won’t you be my wife?
