South In New Orleans - Ronnie Hawkins

Down south in New Orleans

The prettiest girls I’ve ever seen

Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet

We make love to the Rumba beat

Ship’s at anchor, my suitcase packed

Got a one way ticket, ain’t comin' back

Life’s a pleasure, love’s no dream

Down south in New Orleans

My dark eyed baby, I’m on my way

Back into your arms to stay

I’m tired of work, I wanna play

I’ll make sweet love to you night and day

Down south in New Orleans

The prettiest girls I’ve ever seen

Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet

We make love to the Rumba beat

Ship’s at anchor, my suitcase packed

Got a one way ticket, ain’t comin' back

Life’s a pleasure, love’s no dream

Down south in New Orleans

I want to get too loose, on Toulose Street

I wanna kiss all the Creole girls I see

Drink all day, dance all night

Do it wrong, 'til I do it right

Down south in New Orleans

The prettiest girls I’ve ever seen

Sparkling eyes, lips so sweet

We make love to the Rumba beat

Ship’s at anchor, my suitcase packed

Got a one way ticket, ain’t comin' back

Life’s a pleasure, love’s no dream

Down south in New Orleans
