Come on   I'm goin' down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine   I'm goin' down to New Orleans and leavin' all of this behind   Headin' south from Detroit   I got Cajun cookin' on my mind   When I get to New Orleans someone gonna treat me right   Yeah in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right   I'll be high 10 Rollin' till the early morning break daylight      A jambalaya and a crawfish pie gonna start my day   But when the sun goes down we gonna "bon temps roulez"   Hey      I'm goin' down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine   I'm goin' down to New Orleans where the stars on the sidewalk shine   Burnin' through Mississippi with the Big Easy on my mind      When I get to New Orleans someone gonna treat me right   Yeah in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right   And I'm gonna party like the devil if the Neville brothers play tonight      Jambalaya and a crawfish pie gonna make my day   Down on the Bayou singing Hey Pocky Way      I'm goin' down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine   Down in New Orleans good peoples they's hard to find   I bet he's making gumbo and drinkin' homemade wine   A jukebox shakin' and breakin' down in New Orleans   I'll be the highest hillbilly that Bourbon Street has ever seen   Oh yeah, yeah      I'm goin' down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine   I'm goin' down to New Orleans and leavin' all of this behind   If the good Lord's willing and the rivers don't start to rise      And when I get to New Orleans someone's gonna treat me right   Said in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right   All the cats in the cradle gonna rock this kid tonight   Oh hey      A jukebox shakin' and breakin' down in New Orleans   And if you're payin' for fun a french quarters really all you need      I'm going Down to New Orleans   Down to New Orleans   [Repeat]   Going down, down   Down, down tonight   [Repeat]
