I walk the street's of new Orleans
 With the girl of my dream's
 I've seen a dozen brassbands play and swing
 While little children laugh , dance & sing 
 I've seen old men drunk singin the blues
 With top hats', canes and spectator shoes
 I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
 With a girl, a city and the river of mud
 
 Let me know ! .........where I can go to save my soul?
 Let me know!.........where I can go to save my soul?
 
 I had a drink with ol' Louies' ghost
 He was our most gracious host
 I've heard Gabriel sing & play his horn
 
 And lived to see the day both my babies were born
 I love Jelly, Fats, fes and king
 They were the ones that taught the world to swing
 I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
 With the music, a city and the river of mud
 
 Let me know!.........where I can go to save my soul?
 Let me know!.........where I can go to save my soul?
 New Orleans...new Orleans
 It's where I can go ...to save my soul!
