This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm going to need two pair of shoes When I get through walkin' me blues When I get back to New Orleans I've got my suitcase in my hand Now, ain't that a shame I'm leavin' here today Yes, I'm goin' back home to stay Yes, I'm walkin' 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 walkin' to New Orleans I've got no time for talkin' I've got to keep on walkin' New Orleans is my home That's the reason while I'm gone Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans
