"Going Back To New Orleans" lyrics

Dr. John & WDR Big Band Lyrics

"Going Back To New Orleans"
(originally by Joe Liggins and His Honeydrippers)

Goin' back home, fe nan e'
To the land of the beautiful queen
I'm goin' back to home to my baby
Goin' back to New Orleans

Seeing na-na, my parin
Couzine and my ma and pa
Want to plant my feet on Rampart Street
Be there for the Mardi Gras

Goin' back home, fe nan e'
And never more will I roam
Get my fill of that etoufee
'Cause New Orleans is my home

Get some crawfish, jambalaya
Red beans and fine pralines
Get me little love that will satisfy
Home in New Orleans

Goin' back home, fe nan e'
In the land of the Carnival Queen
I'm goin' back home to my baby
Goin' back to New Orleans
