This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm gonna need two pair of shoes when I get to walkin' the blues
When I get back to New Orleans

I've got my suitcase in my hand now ain't that a shame
I'm leaving here today for I'm going back home to stay
Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans
[ sax ]
You used to be my honey till you spent all my money
No use for you to cry I'll see you by and by
Because I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I've got no time for talking I've got to keep on walking
New Orleans is my home that's the reason why I'm gone
Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans
Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans
