This time I'm walking to New Orleans I'm walking to New Orleans I'm going to need two pair of shoes When I get through walking these 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 Yes I'm going back home to stay Yes I'm walking to New Orleans You used to be my honey Till you spent all my money No use for you to cry I'll see you bye and bye Cause I'm walking 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 going Yes I'm walking to New Orleans I'm walking to New Orleans (Fade out)
