Les Humphries Singers - New Orleans lyrics

New Orleans Yip Yip New Orleans Yip yip Left my home in Texas bound for New Orleans New Orleans Yip Yip New Orleans Yip Yip Left my home in Texas for New Orleans Ain't no doubt about it Don't see no way round it Left my girl in Maybeline and got on board the River Queen Should have faced the jury but I was in a hurry Got on board the River Queen and headed down to New Orleans Happened to be on the River Boat Queen River Boat Queen bound for New Orleans Happened to be on the River Boat Queen River Boat Queen Bound for New Orleans Yip Yip New Orleans Yip Yip Left my home in Texas bound for New Orleans New Orleans Yip Yip New Orleans Yip Yip Left my home in Texas for New Orleans I've left friends behind me Although they still remind me I was feelin' doggone mean So headed down to New Orleans I've lost all my money and I don't think it's funny I gambled on the River Queen headin' down to New Orleans Happened to be on the River Boat Queen Smokin' Gamblin' Drinkin' but when I started thinkin' Somethin' that I should have seen never left for New Orlea I got drunk one night and then she just picked a fight Now I'm on the River Queen headin' down to New Orleans Happened to be on the River Boat Queen
