(T. B. Schmit/B. Gaitsch/W. Jennings)



Let's go down by the river

Watch the river light

Big old paddle wheeler

Rolling through the southern night

No need in talking you know how I feel

Everytime that I'm with you, you make it all so real

Moon breaks on the water, everything is right

Let's go down by the river tonight



Let's go down by the river

Watch the ships come in

Everytime I'm in New Orleans

I feel like I'm in love again

Good band is playing, night is rolling on

Let's get into the music until the night is gone

Love you till you're shining, oh my what a sight

Let's go down by the river tonight



Down in New Orleans

You know they let the good times roll on forever

Never say never

Down in New Orleans

You know they do it till it's all right - tight

Oh my what a night



I've been out in this big world

I've done everything

Still nobody does it

Like they do in New Orleans

They wake up dancing - Dance until they sleep

Living on their feeling - They know life won't keep

Honey bring your new shades - Morning comes up bright

When you're down by the river all night
