I Wish I Was In New Orleans Lyrics - Cold Beer On A Hot Night - Tom Waits

Well I wish I was in New Orleans 

I can see it in my dreams 

Arm in arm down Burgundy 

A bottle and my friends and me 

Hoist up a few tall cool ones 

Play some pool and listen to that 

Tenor saxaphone calling me home 

And I can hear the band begin 

When The Saints Go Marching In 

By the whiskers on my chin 

New Orleans I'll be there

I'll drink you under the table 

Be red nose go for walks 

The old haunts what I wants 

Is red beans and rice 

And wear the dress I like so well 

Meet me at the old saloon 

Make sure there's a Dixie moon 

New Orleans I'll be there 

Photos 

And deal the cards roll the dice 

If it ain't that ole Chuck E. Weiss 

And Clayborn Avenue me and you 

Sam Jones and all 

And I wish I was in New Orleans 

I can see it in my dreams 

Arm in arm down Burgundy 

A bottle and my friends and me 

New Orleans I'll be there
