Going Back To New Orleans (Album Version)

Going back home, te-na-nee

To the land of the beautiful queen

I'm goin' back home to my baby

I'm goin' back to New Orleans

Wanna see na-na, my parin

Couzine and my ma and pa

Gonna tap my feet on Rampart Street

And be there for the Mardi Gras

I've been to Cuba, South America way

I've been to Europe, Mexico is okay

Over in France the chicks are really fine

I get my thrills below the Mason-Dixie Line

I'm goin' back home, te-na-nee

Never, never more will I roam

Goin' to get my fill of gumbo fillet

'Cause New Orleans is my home

Goin' back home, te-na-nee

To the land of the beautiful queens

I'm goin' back home to my baby

I'm goin' back to New Orleans

Gonna get me crawfish

Jambalaya, red beans and some fine pralines

Gonna get some lovin' that will satisfy

Back home in New Orleans
