That's crazy man, ha ha, ha. [spoken words � Elmer Snowden]
Yes, dear ol' New Orleans, is where I long to be.
Back in dear ol' New Orleans, is where I long to be.
Where the skies is always blue, and true love is always free.
I been away so long, I've been so many years.
Yes, I been away so long, from my ol' hometown.
That my heart begin cryin' every time that evenin' sun goes down.
It's a long road to travel, but I just ain't got the fare.
It's a long road to travel, but I just ain't got my fare.
Guess I'll hitchhike my way, someday I'll be back there
Dear ol' New Orleans, they call it the �land of dreams.�
Yes, dear ol' New Orleans, it's known for the �land of dreams.�
It's my old hometown, it's dear ol' New Orleans.
I've traveled so many miles, still I got a long ways to go.
I've traveled so many miles, still I got a long ways to go.
Yes, if I can't hitchhike my way, I'll start walkin' down that long ol' lonesome road.
In my home you lay down sleepin', in the day you wake up with a smile on your face.
Yes, at night you lay down dreamin', wake up with a smile upon your face.
That's why I wanna go back to New Orleans, that's the only place.
That was � good, Lonnie! Maaan � [spoken words � Elmer Snowden]
That makes me feel � right � [spoken words � Lonnie Johnson]
Did that take you back home? [spoken words � Elmer Snowden]
Oh yeah, that takes me back, Jack � [spoken words � Lonnie Johnson]
Huh? Doesn't that get you homesick? [spoken words � Elmer Snowden]
That takes me real � way down that railroad track � [spoken words � Lonnie Johnson]
