Tom Waits - I Wish I Was In New Orleans Lyrics
Well, I wish I was in new orleans, I can see it in my dreams,Arm-in-arm down burgundy, a bottle and my friends and meHoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listenTo that tenor saxophone calling me homeAnd I can hear the band begin when the saints go marching in,And by the whiskers on my chin, new orleans, Ill be thereIll drink you under the table, be red-nosed, go for walks,The old haunts what I wants is red beans and riceAnd wear the dress I like so well, and meet me at the old saloon,Make sure that theres a dixie moon, new orleans, Ill be thereAnd deal the cards roll the dice, if it aint that old chuck e. weiss,And claiborne avenue, me and you sam jones and allAnd I wish I was in new orleans, cause I can see it in my dreams,Arm-in-arm down burgundy, a bottle and my friends and meNew orleans, Ill be there
