This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans   I'm gonna need two pair of shoes when I get to walkin' the blues   When I get back to New Orleans   I've got my suitcase in my hand now ain't that a shame   I'm leaving here today for I'm going back home to stay   Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans   [ sax ]   You used to be my honey till you spent all my money   No use for you to cry I'll see you by and by   Because I'm walkin' to New Orleans   I've got no time for talking I've got to keep on walking   New Orleans is my home that's the reason why I'm gone   Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans   Yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans yes I'm walkin' to New Orleans
