Les Humphries Singers - New Orleans & Live For Today 1974
1. New Orleans
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 New Orleans yip yip
Left my home in Texas bound for New Orleans
New Orleans New Orleans yip yip
New Orleans New Orleans yip yip
Left my home in Texas bound 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
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 New Orleans yip yip
Left my home in Texas bound for New Orleans
New Orleans New Orleans yip yip
New Orleans New Orleans yip yip
Left my home in Texas bound for New Orleans
