New Orleans Lyrics - Blues Biography - Dr. John

In the South Land, there's a city; 

Way down on the river! 

Where the women are very pretty, 

And all the men deliver. 

They got music; 

It's always playin'! 

Start in the day time, go all through the night! 

When you hear that music playin', 

Hear what I'm saying and make it feel alright!

POPULAR SONG: Daddy Yankee & Snow - 'Con Calma' - LYRICS 

Grab somebody, come on down. 

Bring your paintbrush, we're painting the town! 

Oh there's some sweetness going around, 

Catch it down in New Orleans. 

We got magic, good and bad, 

Make ya happy, or make ya real, sad. 

Get everything you want or lose what you have, 

Down here in New Orleans! 

Hey partner, don't be shy! 

Come on down here and give us a try! 

You wanna do some livin' before you die; 

Do it down in New Orleans.

Of the Sugar Barons and Cotton Kings. 

Rich people, poor people, all got dreams.! 

Dreams do come true in New Orleans.
