I walk the streets of new Orleans With the girl of my dreams I've seen a dozen brassbands play and swing While little children laugh, dance and sing I've seen old men drunk singin the blues With top hats and canes and spectator shoes I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love With a girl, the city and the river of mud Let me know! Let me know! Where I can go to save my soul? Let me know! Let me know! Where I can go to save my soul? I had a drink with ol' Louies' ghost He was our most gracious host I've heard Gabriel singing and playing his horn And lived to see the day both my babies were born I love Jelly, Fats, fes and king They were the ones that taught the world to swing I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love With the music, the city and the river of mud Let me know! Let me know! Where I can go to save my soul? Let me know! Let me know! Where I can go to save my soul? New Orleans New Orleans Where I can go to save my soul? Where I can go to save my soul? Yeah I walk the streets of new Orleans With the girl of my dreams I've seen old men drunk singin the blues With top hats, canes and spectator shoes I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love With a girl, the city and the river of mud Let me know! Let me know! Where I can go to save my soul? Let me know! Let me know! Where I can go to save my soul? New Orleans, New Orleans Where I can go to save my soul?
