Intro: (8x) Down south in New Orleans The prettiest girls I’ve ever seen. Sparkling eyes lips so sweet we make love to the Rumba beat. Ship’s at anchor my suitcase packed Got a one way ticket ain’t comin’ back. Life’s a pleasure love’s a dream Down south in New Orleans. x2 My dark eyed baby I’m on my way   Back into your arms to stay. I’m tired of work I wanna play. I’ll make sweet love to you night and day. Down south in New Orleans The prettiest girls I’ve ever seen. Sparkling eyes lips so sweet we make love to the Rumba beat.
