Irma Thomas - I Just Can't Get New Orleans Off My Mind lyrics

I just can't get New Orleans off my mind Fun dancin' and music all the time So if you don't see me Oh that's where I'm gonna be 'Cause I just can't get New Orleans off my mind Creole gumbo Carriage lights Old houses that will last On Bourbon street you get that beat That Dixieland Jazz That's why I just can't get New Orleans off my mind Fun dancin' and music all the time So if you don't see me Oh that's where I'm gonna be 'Cause I just can't get New Orleans off my mind Mardi Gras the things I'd saw Makes it hard to wait When you see those Zulu kings You wanna make a date Because I just can't get New Orleans off my mind Fun dancin' and music all the time So if you don't see me Oh that's where I'm gonna be 'Cause I just can't get New Orleans off my mind Ol' man river ferryboats cruisin' thru the ports New Orleans the land of dreams The home of various folks That's why I just can't get New Orleans off my mind Fun dancin' and music all the time So if you don't see me Oh that's where I'm gonna be 'Cause I just can't get New Orleans off my mind That's what I'm try to tell you That's where I want you to go New Orleans is my home And I should know That's where my hearts That's where I've got to be New Orleans is my home Why can't you see Uh-huh uh-huh New Orlean's my home honey yeah
