Hey creole darlin'

Talk that french to me

You know your love is somethin'

Like I ain't never seen

I'm goin' downdowndowndown to new orleans



Your eyes shine line diamonds

And those kisses sure make me scream

There ain't nothin' like love on the bayou

Honey I know you know what I mean

I'm goin' downdowndowndown to new orleans

I'm goin' downdowndowndown to new orleans



Chorus:

They got the gumbo and the creole

They got the quarter all night long

I got my delta queen that makes my heart sing

Man I ain't never goin' home

I'm goin' downdowndowndown to new orleans
