Les Humphries Singers - New Orleans lyrics

New Orleans

Yip

Yip

New Orleans

Yip yip

Left my home in Texas bound for New Orleans.

New Orleans

Yip

Yip

New Orleans

Yip

Yip.

Left my home in Texas for New Orleans.

Ain't no doubt about it

Don't see no way round it

Left my girl in Maybeline and got on board the River Queen.

Should have faced the jury but I was in a hurry

Got on board the River Queen and headed down to New Orleans.

Happened to be on the River Boat Queen

River Boat Queen bound for New Orleans

Happened to be on the River Boat Queen

River Boat Queen

Bound for

New Orleans

Yip

Yip

New Orleans

Yip

Yip

Left my home in Texas bound for New Orleans

New Orleans

Yip

Yip

New Orleans

Yip

Yip.

Left my home in Texas for New Orleans.

I've left friends behind me

Although they still remind me

I was feelin' doggone mean

So headed down to New Orleans.

I've lost all my money and I don't think it's funny

I gambled on the River Queen headin' down to New Orleans

Happened to be on the River Boat Queen

. . .

Smokin'

Gamblin'

Drinkin' but when I started thinkin'

Somethin' that I should have seen never left for New Orlea

I got drunk one night and then she just picked a fight

Now I'm on the River Queen headin' down to New Orleans.

Happened to be on the River Boat Queen

. . .
