South In New Orleans
by J. Wright and J. Anglin / Hill and Range Songs Inc. / B.M.I.

We make the love to the rhumba beat
Down south in New Orleans

Down south in New Orleans, the prettiest girl I ever seen
Sparklin' eyes, lips so sweet, we make the love to the rhumba beat
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed
Got a one way ticket, I ain't comin' back
Life's a pleasure, love's no dream
Down south in New Orleans

My dark-eyed baby, I'm on my way
Back into your arms to stay
I'm tired of work, I want to play
And I love you night and day

Down south in New Orleans, the prettiest girl I ever seen
Sparklin' eyes, lips so sweet, we make the love to the rhumba beat
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed
Got a one way ticket, I ain't comin' back
Life's a pleasure, love's no dream
Down south in New Orleans

I crave her smile that shines so bright
Her beautiful teeth lights up the night
Come on, skipper, I'm ready to ride
I'm only waiting for the tide

Down south in New Orleans, the prettiest girl I ever seen
Sparklin' eyes, lips so sweet, we make the love to the rhumba beat
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed
Got a one way ticket, I ain't comin' back
Life's a pleasure, love's no dream
Down south in New Orleans

The moon is lighter and hearts are, too
Mighty good place to lose my blues
Wrapped up in my baby's arms
I'll tell her of her many charms

Down south in New Orleans, the prettiest girl I ever seen
Sparklin' eyes, lips so sweet, we make the love to the rhumba beat
Ship's at anchor, my suitcase packed
Got a one way ticket, I ain't comin' back
Life's a pleasure, love's no dream
Down south in New Orleans

Down south....Down south....Down south....
