Lyrics

I want to go to New Orleans

Leave tonight ride the railroad line
Sleep inside the depot of a Texas town
Tell the train track that's to my back
Tomorrow I'll be gone

Let's go
Right away not a minute too late
Leaving state lines far behind
Tell the ticket man in the ticket stand

I want to go to New Orleans
I want to go to New Orleans

Maybe you would like to join me too
There's a 747 leaving soon
Take a jet plane through the pouring rain

I want to go to New Orleans
I want to go to New Orleans
I want to go to New Orleans
