1
Well, I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams,
2
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me
3
Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listen
4
To that tenor saxophone calling me home
5
And I can hear the band begin "When the Saints Go Marching In",
6
And by the whiskers on my chin, New Orleans, I'll be there
7
I'll drink you under the table, be red-nosed, go for walks,
8
The old haunts what I wants is red beans and rice
9
And wear the dress I like so well, and meet me at the old saloon,
10
Make sure that there's a Dixie moon, New Orleans, I'll be there
11
And deal the cards roll the dice, if it ain't that old Chuck E. Weiss,
12
And Claiborne Avenue, me and you Sam Jones and all
13
And I wish I was in New Orleans, 'cause I can see it in my dreams,
14
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me
15
New Orleans, I'll be there
