I walk the streets of new Orleans
With the girl of my dreams
I've seen a dozen brassbands play and swing
While little children laugh, dance and sing
I've seen old men drunk singin the blues
With top hats and canes and spectator shoes
I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
With a girl, the city and the river of mud

Let me know!
Let me know!
Where I can go to save my soul?
Let me know!
Let me know!
Where I can go to save my soul?

I had a drink with ol' Louies' ghost
He was our most gracious host
I've heard Gabriel singing and playing his horn
And lived to see the day both my babies were born
I love Jelly, Fats, fes and king
They were the ones that taught the world to swing
I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
With the music, the city and the river of mud

Let me know!
Let me know!
Where I can go to save my soul?
Let me know!
Let me know!
Where I can go to save my soul?
New Orleans
New Orleans
Where I can go to save my soul?
Where I can go to save my soul?
Yeah

I walk the streets of new Orleans
With the girl of my dreams
I've seen old men drunk singin the blues
With top hats, canes and spectator shoes
I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
With a girl, the city and the river of mud

Let me know!
Let me know!
Where I can go to save my soul?
Let me know!
Let me know!
Where I can go to save my soul?
New Orleans, New Orleans
Where I can go to save my soul?
New Orleans, New Orleans
Where I can go to save my soul?
Where I can go to save my soul?
