New Orleans Lyrics

The way your hair falls across your breasts is driving me wild

Where have you been all my life, the devil's in your smile

It could be all the rum, or maybe it's the blow

That's got me to the point of where I'm letting it all go

You came to me wearing nothing

But your Fat Tuesday and your rosary beads

I ain't seen an angel like you

Since I left New Orleans

It ain't the first time I've been played for a fool

People blow right through my life, and that's a rule

When I heard you knocking, I was more than surprised

By the looks of longing and the lust in your eyes

You came to me wearing nothing

But your Fat Tuesday and your rosary beads

I ain't seen an angel like you

Since I left New Orleans

New Orleans

When the smoke and the fire settles, will I find you by my side

Or will I find you and my wallet gone in the morning light

I'm a sucker and a tool, surely you must know

Tonight I'm holding on real tight, and not letting you go

You came to me wearing nothing

But your Fat Tuesday and your rosary beads

I ain't seen an angel like you

Since I left New Orleans

New Orleans
