Headin´ south from Detroit I got Cajun cookin´ on my mind When I get to New Orleans someone gonna treat me right Yeah in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right I´ll be high 10 Rollin´ till the early morning break daylight
A jambalaya and a crawfish pie gonna start my day But when the sun goes down we gonna "bon temps roulez" Hey

Burnin´ through Mississippi with the Big Easy on my mind

A jukebox shakin´ and breakin´ down in New Orleans I´ll be the highest hillbilly that Bourbon Street has ever seen Oh yeah, yeah
I´m goin´ down to New Orleans to see about a friend of mine I´m goin´ down to New Orleans and leavin´ all of this behind If the good Lord´s willing and the rivers don´t start to rise
And when I get to New Orleans someone´s gonna treat me right Said in a town like New Orleans someone gonna treat me right All the cats in the cradle gonna rock this kid tonight
