New Orleans Lyrics

I’m gettin’ tired of the ice and snow
Don’t wanna wear my sweater or my jeans
I think I’m gonna pack it up and go
I’m gonna take it down to New Orleans
Cajun music’s ’ me I know
Bourbon Street is fillin’ up my dreams
I wanna hear a Fiddle and a Bow
I’m gonna take it down to New Orleans

Fiddle Solo Over 2 Verses

Chorus 1

I’m gonna find a Cajun lady, who’s just a little crazy
Who’d like to keep me company
Yea, a gal who’s pretty lookin’ - Who’s into Cajun cookin’
I’m thinkin’ that’s the gal for me

Shorts and Tee shirts kinda fit my style
Got no use for any fashion scene
Don’t ever wanna wear a coat or tie
I’m gonna take it down to New Orleans

Fiddle Solo Over 2 Verses

Chorus 2

I’m gonna stop this wishin’ and get me in some fishin’
I hear there’s Bass in Pontchatrain
Or, I could be in constant motion pullin’ shrimp out of the ocean
I’m thinkin’ that would keep me sane

Late night Gumbo and some dirty rice
A morning omelet, shrimp and spinach greens
Some Jambalaya extra Cajun spice
I’m gonna take it down to New Orleans

Fiddle Solo Over 2 Verses
Repeat Chorus 2 & Last Verse
