Merle Haggard "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans" |
Well, way down yonder in New Orleans In the land of the dreamy scenes There's a garden of Eden Ah, you know what I mean. Yeah, Creole babies with flashin' eyes Softly whisper with tender sighs And then you stop! Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile? And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while. Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth With those beautiful queens Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans Whoo! --- Instrumental --- Way down yonder in New Orleans Whoo!, in the land of the dreamy scenes There's a garden of Eden You know what I mean. Well, Creole babies with flashin' eyes Softly whisper with tender sighs And then you stop! Oh, won't you give your lady fair a little smile? And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while. Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth With those beautiful queens Well, way down yonder in New Orleans Yeah! whoo! --- Instrumental to fade --- Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
