Way Down Yonder In New Orleans

(album: Swingin' Down Yonder - 1955)

Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of the dreamy dreams
There's a garden of Eden that's what I mean
Creole babies with flashing eyes
Softly whispering with the tender sighs
Stop, won't you give your lady fair
A little smile
Yeah, stop, you bet your life you'll linger there
A little while
Well there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
Way down yonder in New Orleans

Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of the dreamy dreams
There's a garden of Eden that's what I mean
Creole babies with flashing eyes
Softly whispering with the tender sighs
Stop, won't you give your lady fair
A little smile
Yeah, stop, you bet your life you'll linger there
A little while
Well there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
Way down yonder in New Orleans
