This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans

I'm gonna need two pair of shoes when I get to walkin' the blues

When I get back to New Orleans

I've got my suitcase in my hand now ain't that a shame

I'm leaving here today for I'm going back home to stay

Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans

[ sax ]

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

Because I'm walkin' to New Orleans

I've got no time for talking I've got to keep on walking

New Orleans is my home that's the reason why I'm gone

Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans

Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans
