It's time I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm going to need two pair of shoes
When I get through walkin' to you
When I get back to New Orleans
I've got my suitcase in my hand
Now, ain't that a shame
I'm leavin' here today
Yes, I'm goin' back home to stay
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans
You used to be my honey
Till I lost all my money
No use to me to cry
I'll see you bye and bye
'Cause I'm walkin' to New Orleans
And I've got no time for talkin'
I've got to keep on walkin'
'Cause New Orleans is my home
That's the reason why I'm goin'
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
Oh you goin' my way
I'm goin' back home to stay
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
Yes, I'm walkin' back to New Orleans
