I met you in May, we didn't get on right away But we hung out everyday I fell in love as spring gave way to summer, And the creek dried out We walked along it everyday You never once did say that she was waiting She was waiting, she was waiting You had a girl in New Orleans You had a girl in New Orleans You had a girl in New Orleans You had a girl in New Orleans We would sit so near on the blanket, On the beach, and we'd walk out on the pier You always seemed so out of reach But if i could feel what i felt then I'd gladly do it over again You broke my heart so slow I hated to see you, hated to see you go But you had a girl in New Orleans You had a girl in New Orleans You had a girl in new Orleans You had a girl in New Orleans I watch you go, Texas sun is rising so slow So slow I met you in May, we didn't get on right away You took my hand just once to say We can't forget the way, it feels when spring gives way to summer, to summer If I could feel what I felt then I'd gladly do it over again You broke my heart so slow I hated to see you, hated to see you go But you had a girl in New Orleans You had a girl in New Orleans You had a girl in New Orleans
