New Orleans Blues - Lonnie Johnson

Well, I’m goin' back to New Orleans

Philadelphia ain’t the place for me

Well, I’m goin' back to New Orleans

Philadelphia ain’t the place for me

'Cause it’s chicks don’t want no one good man

They want every man they see

Well, I’m goin' back home

If I have to hitchhike all the way

Well, I’m goin' back home

If I have to hitchhike all the way

That’s why I can make love by the moonlight

Lay in the shade all through the day

Creole baby’s got big bright eyes

An' coal black curly hair

Those Creole baby’s got big bright eyes

Coal black curly hair

An' they know how to love a man

That’s why I’m goin' back there

Yes, I’m goin' back to New Orleans

When I get home I’m goin' to stay

Yes, I’m goin' back to New Orleans

When I get home I’m goin' to stay

Yes, I don’t have to worry 'bout love

'Cause I find good love each and every day
