I walk the streets of New Orleans
With the girl of my dreams
I've seen a dozen bra**bands playing swing
While little children laugh, dance and sing
I've seen old men drunk singing the blues
With top hats and canes and spectator shoes
I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
With the girl, the city, and the river of mud
[Chorus]
Let me know, let me know
where I can go to save my soul
Let me know, let me know
where I can go to save my soul
where I can go to save my soul, yeah...
I had a drink with ol' Louie's ghost
He was the most gracious host
I've heard Gabriel singing and playing his horn
And lived to see the day both my babies were born
I love jelly, fats, Fes and King
They were the ones that taught the world to swing
I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
With the music, the city, and the river of mud
[Chorus]
Let me know, let me know
where I can go to save my soul
Let me know, let me know
where I can go to save my soul
where I can go to save my soul, yeah...
New Orleans...
New Orleans...
Where I can go to save my soul
Where I can go to save my soul.
I walk the streets of new Orleans
With the girl of my dreams
I've seen old men drunk singing the blues
With top hats and canes and spectator shoes
I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
With the girl, the city, and the river of mud
[Chorus]
Let me know, let me know
where I can go to save my soul
Let me know, let me know
where I can go to save my soul
where I can go to save my soul, yeah...
Let me know, let me know
where I can go to save my soul
where i can go to save my soul!
New Orleans, New Orleans, is where I can go to save my soul...
New Orleans, New Orleans, is where I can go to save my soul...
where I can go to save my soul...
