If you've never seen a quaint old Southern city
Just think of New, think of New Orleans
If you've never seen that town, boy, it's a pity
There's nothing like, nothing like New Orleans
It will remind you old fashioned lace
A glass of wine will greet your smiling face
And if you ever see a black eyed gal like mine, boy
Oh, then you're right in it, right in New Orleans
