Going Back To New Orleans Lyrics - Joe Liggins & The Honeydrippers - Joe Liggins & The Honeydrippers

Goin' Back Home To New Orleans 

Joe Liggins & his Honeydippers 

INTRO 

verse 

Goin' back home, te-na-nee, to the land of the beautiful queens 

Goin' back home to my baby, I'm goin' back to New Orleans 

verse 

To see nana, my parent, cousin and my ma and pa 

Going to plant my feet on Rampart Street, and be there for the Mardi Gras 

chorus 

I've been to Cuba, South American way 

I've been to Europe, Mexico is okay 

Over in France the chicks are really fine 

I get my thrills below the Mason-Dixie Line 

verse 

I'm goin' back home, te-na-ne, never more will I roam 

Goin' to get my fill of gumbo filet 'cause New Orleans is my home 

(SOLOS OVER VERSE AND CHORUS ROUNDS) 

verse 

Goin' back home, te-na-nee, to the land of the beautiful queens 

Goin' back home to my baby, I'm goin' back to New Orleans 

verse 

Goin' to get me crawfish, jumbalaya, red beans and some fine pralines 

Goin' to get some lovin' that will satisfy back home in New Orleans 

INTRO SECTION TO END
