Your eyes shine line diamonds
And those kisses sure make me scream
There ain't nothin' like love on the bayou
Honey I know you know what I mean
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
[Chorus:]
They got the gumbo and the Creole
They got the Quarter all night long
I got my Delta Queen that makes my heart sing
Man I ain't never goin' home
I'm goin' down, down, down, down to New Orleans
