Come on
I´m goin´ down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine
I´m goin´ down to New Orleans and leavin´ all of this behind
Headin´ south from Detroit
I got Cajun cookin´ on my mind
When I get to New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
Yeah in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
I´ll be high 10 Rollin´ till the early morning break daylight

A jambalaya and a crawfish pie gonna start my day
But when the sun goes down we gonna "bon temps roulez"
Hey

I´m goin´ down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine
I´m goin´ down to New Orleans where the stars on the sidewalk shine
Burnin´ through Mississippi with the Big Easy on my mind

When I get to New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
Yeah in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
And I´m gonna party like the devil if the Neville brothers play tonight

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie gonna make my day
Down on the Bayou singing Hey Pocky Way

I´m goin´ down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine
Down in New Orleans good peoples they´s hard to find
I bet he´s making gumbo and drinkin´ homemade wine
A jukebox shakin´ and breakin´ down in New Orleans
I´ll be the highest hillbilly that Bourbon Street has ever seen
Oh yeah, yeah

I´m goin´ down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine
I´m goin´ down to New Orleans and leavin´ all of this behind
If the good Lord´s willing and the rivers don´t start to rise

And when I get to New Orleans someone´s gonna treat me right
Said in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right
All the cats in the cradle gonna rock this kid tonight
Oh hey

A jukebox shakin´ and breakin´ down in New Orleans
And if you´re payin´ for fun a french quarters really all you need

I´m going Down to New Orleans
Down to New Orleans
[x2]
Going down, down
Down, down tonight
