Give me one for the highway
Give me two for the road
Give me three for my baby
That someone else done stole
Since my baby been gone
I just can't go on
I'm leaving here today
Ain't no use to stay
If anything happens to me
No matter how strange it'll be
Just make sure that I'm seen
In my hometown, New Orleans
Bye, baby, bye bye
I said, bye bye, baby, goodbye
It hurts I understand
That you got a fine, ol' man
If anything happens to me
So strange it could be
Just make sure that I'm seen
In my hometown, New Orleans
I said bye bye, baby, bye
Oh, bye bye, baby, bye
You know it hurts I understand
That you lost a real fine man
