Going Back to New Orleans

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
