Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walk the streets of New Orleans With a girl of my dreams I've seen a dozen brass bands play and swing While little children laugh, dance, and sing I've seen old men, drunk, singin' the blues With top hats and canes and spectator shoes I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love With a girl, the city, and the river of mud [Chorus] Let me know, let me know Where I can go to save my soul Let me know, let me know Where I can go to save my soul Where I can go to save my soul, yeah [Verse 2] I had a drink with old Louie's ghost He was the most gracious host I've heard Gabriel singin' and playing his horn And lived to see the day both my babies were born I love Jelly, Fats, Fes and King They were the ones that taught the world to swing I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love With the music, the city, and the river of mud [Chorus] Let me know, let me know Where I can go to save my soul Let me know, let me know Where I can go to save my soul Where I can go to save my soul New Orleans, New Orleans Where I can go to save my soul Where I can go to save my soul, Yeah [Verse 3] I walk the streets of New Orleans With a girl of my dreams I've seen old men, drunk, singin' the blues With top hats and canes and spectator shoes I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love With a girl, the city, and the river of mud [Chorus] Let me know, let me know Where I can go to save my soul Let me know, let me know Where I can go to save my soul Let me know, let me know Where I can go to save my soul Where I can go to save my soul [Outro] New Orleans, New Orleans Where I can go to save my soul New Orleans, New Orleans Where I can go to save my soul Where I can go to save my soul
