New Orleans - Original - The Staple Singers

What can I tell ya

Hard for me to say

I got my mind on Louisiana

Everybody hustle now…

Doo-do-do

Doo-do-do-do-do x2

Sweet Louisiana…

Sho' nuff like to talk about it

Baby how you turn me out

Got to the real nitty gritty

In this fine funky city

Guess you may not believe

That mama don’t wanna leave

Just the way I wanna be

New Orleans, you and me

Man so sweet, fine on his feet

And I love sweet Louisiana
