You'll never know  What heaven means  Until you've been down to New Orleans  You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo  With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou    You've never seen  You've never seen those Cupid doll queens  Like they got 'em in New Orleans  And, ooh, they love you like no-one can  It makes you awful glad that you were born a man.    If-if-if you ain't been there  Then you ain't been nowhere  The livin's lazy and the lovin's fine  If you feel low down  So help me Hannah  You should lose the blues in Loui-si-i-si-ana.    Get the lead  Get the lead out of your jeans  And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where?  New Orleans  Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile  Live it up, love it up, southern style  Way down in New New Orleans.    these lyrics are submitted by botas
