I Wish I Was In New Orleans |
| 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 Hoist up a few tall cool ones |
| Play some pool and listen to that |
| Tenor saxaphone calling me home |
| And I can hear the band begin |
| When The Saints Go Marching In By the whiskers on my chin |
| New Orleans I’ll be there |
| I’ll drink you under the table |
| Be red nose go for walks |
| The old haunts what I wants |
| Is red beans and rice |
| And wear the dress I like so well |
| Meet me at the old saloon |
| Make sure there’s a Dixie moon |
| New Orleans I’ll be there |
| And deal the cards roll the dice |
| If it ain’t that ole Chuck E. Weiss |
| And Clayborn Avenue me and you |
| Sam Jones and all |
| And 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 New Orleans I’ll be there |
