Down in New Orleans - Dr. John

In the South Land there's a city

Way down on the river

Where the women are very pretty

And all the men deliver

They got music

It's always playing

Start in the day time, go all through the night

When you hear that music playing

Hear what I'm saying and make it feel alright

Grab somebody, come on down

Bring your paintbrush, we're painting the town

Oh there's some sweetness going around

Catch it down in New Orleans

We got magic, good and mase

Make it happen, make it real, say

If anything you want is lose what you have

Down here in New Orleans

Hey partner, don't be shy

Come on down here and give us a try

You wanna do some living before you die

Do it down in New Orleans

Stalee homes and mansions

Of the sugar darns and cotton candy

Rich people, old people, all got dreams

Dreams do come true in New Orleans
