My Little Ole Home Down In New Orleans Lyrics - Hank Snow

I never knew that the place I grew is the grandest place on earth 

Till I roamed around from town to town but now I know what it's worth 

Listen while I'll tell you bout the place I mean 

It's my little ole home way down in New Orleans 

In the sunny south where the black boat flows that's where I long to be 

The Dixie land where the white cotton grows is calling now to me 

And soon I'll be in the land of my dreams 

And that's my little ole home way down in New Orleans 

[ fiddle ] 

I've been east and I've been way out west I've been around most everywhere 

Now I'm heading south for a good long rest I'll be glad when I get there 

All the wonder things in the world it seems 

Are a waiting for me way down in New orleans 

In the sunny south... 

Yes that's my little ole home way down in New Orleans
