You'll never know What heaven means Until you've been down to new orleans You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou You've never seen You've never seen those cupid doll queens Like they got 'em in new orleans And, ooh, they love you like no-one can It makes you awful glad that you were born a man. If-if-if you ain't been there Then you ain't been nowhere The livin's lazy and the lovin's fine If you feel low down So help me hannah You should lose the blues in loui-si-i-si-ana. Get the lead Get the lead out of your jeans And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where? New orleans Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile Live it up, love it up, southern style Way down in new new orleans.
