This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm gonna need two pair of shoes and I get to walkin' these blues
And I get back to New Orleans
I've got my suitcase in my hand now ain't that a shame
I'm leavin' here today yes I'm goin' back home to stay
Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans
(I'm walkin' to New Orleans)
You used to be my honey till you spent all my money
No use for you to cry I'll see you by and by cause I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I've got no time for talkin' I've got to keep on walkin'
New Orleans is my home that's the reason why I'm gone
Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans
