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]
