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.

I want to get too loose, on Toulose Street,
