Way Down Yonder In New Orleans (intro) Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Well, way down yonder in New Orleans in the land of the dreamy scenes 

There's a garden of Eden, ah-you know what I mean 

Yeah, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs 

And then you stop! Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile? 

And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while 

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens 

Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans Whoo! instrumental break 

Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo!, in the land of the dreamy scenes 

There's a garden of Eden, you know what I mean 

Well, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs 

And then you stop! Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile? 

And then you stop! You bet your life you'll linger there a little while 

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens 

Well, way down yonder in New Orleans 

Yeah! whoo!
