Down South In New Orleans

	  		
Intro: G (8x) 

Down south in New Orleans, 
                          D  
The prettiest girls I've ever seen. 
Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet, 
we make love to the Rumba beat. 
  G 
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed, 
                              D 
Got a one way ticket, ain't comin' back. 
Life's a pleasure, love's a dream, 
Down south in New Orleans.

My dark eyed baby, I'm on my way,  
                D 
Back into your arms to stay. 
I'm tired of work, I wanna play. 
I'll make sweet love to you night and day.

I want to get too loose, on Toulose Street, 
                              D 
I wanna kiss all the Creole girls I see. 

Drink all day, dance all night. 
Do it wrong, 'til I do it right.
