I walk the street’s of new Orleans With the girl of my dream’s I’ve seen a dozen brassbands play and swing While little children laugh , dance & sing 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, a city and the river of mud Chorus Let me know ! ………where I can go to save my soul? 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 sing & play 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, a city and the river of mud Chorus Let me know!………where I can go to save my soul? Let me know!………where I can go to save my soul? New Orleans…new Orleans It’s where I can go …to save my soul!
