Take me down ol' river man
Lord to set me free
I've crossed the highest hills
To tell what i believe
Got a buddy spoke to me
whispered in my dream
Said find the old blind river man
Ride to New Orleans
Down in New Orleans
As he underpass the lily pads
Thought the kudzu vine
Underneath the hanging marsh
You wont need a sign
To find the land a music man
Can sing and make a dime
He underpass the lily pads
Though the Kudzu vine
Though the kudzu vine
In New Orleans
In New Orleans
Oh yea
Sunday there at the Congo square
The rhythm never dies
One eye jack in the big top hat
Keepin the beat on time
Creole man with a fidel in hand
Sawing down the line
Sunday there at the Congo square
The rhythm never dies
The rhythm never dies
New Orleans
New Orleans
Oh wow down in New Orleans
Oh wow down in New Orleans
And i wait as the trumpets
Call all the saints to see
Parades are marching down the streets
Down in New Orleans
Down in New Orleans
Down in New Orleans
Hey yea
Hey yea
