Merle Haggard - Way Down Yonder In New Orleans

Well, way down yonder in
New Orleans in the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden, ah-you know what I mean Yeah,
Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop!
Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop!
You bet your life you'll linger there a little while Yeah,
there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans Whoo!
instrumental break Way down yonder in New Orleans,
whoo!, in the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden, you know what I mean Well,
Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop!
Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop!
You bet your life you'll linger there a little while Yeah,

way down yonder in New Orleans Yeah! whoo! instrumental to end
