Down in New Orleans My baby's down in New Orleans She looks good in a pair of jeans She's getting ahead by any means Red light flashing on the sheets Voodoo brings her to her feets Like a zombie on the streets If she ever comes home We won't need to go to Rome To absolve her of her sins I will forgive and let her in Baby, please come home to me My baby's down in New Orleans She's looking good in a pair of jeans She's gonna die in New Orleans
