This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm to wakin' to New Orleans
I'm gonna need two pairs of shoes
When I get thru walkin' the blue
When I get back to New Orleans
I've got my suitcase in my hand
Now ain't that a shame
I'm leavin' here today
For, I'm goin' back home to stay
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans

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 talkin'

I've got to keep a-walkin'
New Orleans is my home
That's the reason why I'm goin'
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans
