New Orleans Lyrics - Singles - Les Humphries Singers

New Orleans 

yip 

yip 

New Orleans 

yip yip 

Left my home in Texas bound for New Orleans. 

New Orleans 

yip 

yip 

New Orleans 

yip 

yip. 

Left my home in Texas for New Orleans. 

Ain't no doubt about it 

don't see no way round it 

Left my girl in Maybeline and got on board the River Queen. 

Should have faced the jury but I was in a hurry 

Got on board the River Queen and headed down to New Orleans. 

Happened to be on the River Boat Queen 

River Boat Queen bound for New Orleans 

Happened to be on the River Boat Queen 

River Boat Queen 

bound for 

New Orleans 

yip 

yip 

New Orleans 

yip 

yip 

Left my home in Texas bound for New Orleans 

New Orleans 

yip 

yip 

New Orleans 

yip 

yip. 

Left my home in Texas for New Orleans. 

I've left friends behind me 

although they still remind me 

I was feelin' doggone mean 

so headed down to New Orleans. 

I've lost all my money and I don't think it's funny 

I gambled on the River Queen headin' down to New Orleans 

Happened to be on the River Boat Queen 

. . . 

Smokin' 

gamblin' 

drinkin' but when I started thinkin' 

Somethin' that I should have seen never left for New Orlea 

I got drunk one night and then she just picked a fight 

Now I'm on the River Queen headin' down to New Orleans. 

Happened to be on the River Boat Queen 

. . .
