This time, I'm walking to New Orleans.  I'm walking to New Orleans.  I'm gonna need two pair of shoes,  When I get through walking 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 leaving here today,  Yes, I'm going back home to stay.  Yes, I'm walking to New Orleans.  You used to be my honey  Til you spent all my money.  No use for you to cry,  I'll see you by and by.  Cause I'm walking 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 goin.'  Yes, I'm walking to New Orleans.  I'm walking to New Orleans.
