New Orleans Lyrics


Dr. John New Orleans




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

(Spoken:
On the double, here comes the Neville Brothers!)

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
Goin get me fill of that etoufee
Cus New Orleans is my home

(Spoken:
Is that a jumbo jet?
No, that's Big Al comin' to put a hurt on you)

(Spoken:
On the level, there's Charlie Neville)

Get some crawfish, jambalaya
Red beans and fine pralines
Get some lovin' that gonna satisfy
Home in New Orleans

(Neville Brothers)
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

I want go back home
Back where I'm little known
Yeah, home, boss
You're home sweet home

(Here come Pete Fountain)

I want to see some
On that Mardi Gras queen
Good red beans
Baby, I want to go back home
Home, sweet home
Home back to New Orleans

(fade out with the Neville Brothers)
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
