This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans
 I'm walkin' to New Orleans
 I'm gonna need two pair-a shoes
 When I get through walkin' these blues
 When I get back to New Orleans

 I've got my suitcase in my hand
 Now ain't that-a shame?
 I'm leavin' here today
 Yes, I'm goin' back home to stay
 Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans

 Ya used to be my honey
 'Till you spent all my money
 No use for you to cry
 I'll see you by and by
 'Cause I'm walkin' to New Orleans

 I've got no time for talkin'
 I've got to keep on walkin'
 New Orleans is my home
 That's the reason why I'm goin'
 Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans
 I'm walkin' to New Orleans

 I'm walkin' to New Orleans
 FADES-
 I'm walkin' to New Orleans.
