John Kay - Down in New Orleans lyrics



Words and music by John Kay

Down in New Orleans

The nights are hot and long

Ev'ry day's Saturday night

Down in the quarter

The music's loud and strong

Wish I'd be there tonight

Down in New Orleans

The nights are free and wild

Women will treat you all right

Down from the quarter they're calling me

And I wish I could go tonight

Every time I walk on by

The joints on Bourbon Street

I feel a glow from my head

Right down to my feet

They're places of ev'ry description

Where no one cares who you are

There are people of all persuasions

Carousing in the crowded bars

Down in New Orleans

The nights are free and wild

Women will treat you all right

Down from the quarter they're calling me

And I wish I could go tonight

Walk right on in, sit right down

Drink a hurricane

While everybody gathers 'round

To watch the dancers undulate

The workin' girl in the corner

Is hitting the local bar

And everyone in the quarter

Brace themselves for Mardi Gras

Down in New Orleans?br>
