Down in New Orleans Lyrics
In the Southland there’s a city
Way down on the river
Where the women are very pretty
And all the men deliver
They got music, it’s always playin’
Start in the day time, go all through the night
When you hear that music playin’
Hear what I’m saying
(It) make you feel alright
Grab somebody, come on down
Bring your paintbrush, we’re paintin’ the town
There’s some sweetness goin’ ’round
Catch it down in New Orleans
We got magic, good and bad
Make you happy or make you real sad
Get everything you want, lose what you had
Down here in New Orleans
Hey partner
Don’t be shy
Come on down here and give us a try
You wanna do some living before you die
Do it down in New Orleans
Stately homes and mansions
Of the Sugar Barons and the Cotton Kings
Rich people, poor people, all got dreams
Dreams do come true in New Orleans
Down in New Orleans (Prologue) Lyrics
The evening star is shining bright
So make a wish and hold on tight
There’s magic in the air tonight
And anything can happen…
