The Doobie Brothers - New Orleans Lyrics

The Doobie Brothers Lyrics

"New Orleans"

Mississippi River is callin' me
In the heat of a Cajun night
A funky guitar laid down by The Meters
Bring the city streets to life

Brass band marching down Bourbon Street
Royal is rockin' to a second-line beat
We all livin' the dream down in New Orleans
New Orleans, baby

Mardi Gras rollin' down in Crescent City
The crowds are throwin' it down
Midnight, and it's all gettin' gritty
Everybody singing out loud

Brass band marching down Bourbon Street
Royal is rockin' to a second-line beat
We all livin' the dream down in New Orleans

In the heart of the Delta drinks are flowin' free
Flowin' free
The party's goin' all night
People out dancin' in the middle of the street
All I need is my Mississippi queen

Brass band marching down Bourbon Street
Royal is rockin' to a second-line beat
We all livin' the dream down in New Orleans
We all livin' the dream down in New Orleans

New Orleans
New Orleans
Rockin' through the night, now baby
Everybody's talking about New Orleans
