Hey Creole darlin'
Talk that French to me
You know your love is somethin'
A kind never seen

I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans

Your eyes shine like diamonds
And those kisses sure make me scream
There ain't nothin' like love on the Bayou
Honey, I know you know what I mean

I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans

They got the Gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
They got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
And I ain't never goin' home

I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
Sweet New Orleans baby

They got the Gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
They got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
And I ain't never goin' home

I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
Sweet New Orleans baby
