(Words & music by Tepper - Bennett)
You ll never know
What heaven means
Until you ve been down to New Orleans
You ain t been livin till you cuddle and coo
With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou

You ve never seen
You ve never seen those Cupid doll queens
Like they got em in New Orleans
Andoohthey love you like no-one can
It makes you awful glad that you were born a man.

If-if-if you ain t been there
Then you ain t been nowhere
The livin s lazy and the lovin s fine
If you feel low down
So help me Hannah
You should lose the blues in Loui-si-i-si-ana.

Get the lead
Get the lead out of your jeans
And hot foot it downhot foot down to where?
New Orleans
Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile
Live it uplove it upsouthern style
Way down in New New Orleans.
