Текст (слова) песни: John Kay - Down in New Orleans
Words and music by John Kay
Down in New Orleans The nights are hot and long Ev`ry day`s Saturday night Down in the quarter The music`s loud and strong Wish I`d be there tonight
Down in New Orleans The nights are free and wild Women will treat you all right Down from the quarter they`re calling me And I wish I could go tonight
Every time I walk on by The joints on Bourbon Street I feel a glow from my head Right down to my feet They`re places of ev`ry description Where no one cares who you are There are people of all persuasions Carousing in the crowded bars
Down in New Orleans The nights are free and wild Women will treat you all right Down from the quarter they`re calling me And I wish I could go tonight
Walk right on in, sit right down Drink a hurricane While everybody gathers `round To watch the dancers undulate The workin` girl in the corner Is hitting the local bar And everyone in the quarter Brace themselves for Mardi Gras
