Tom Waits - I Wish I Was In New Orleans (In The Ninth Ward) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 me
  • Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listen
  • To that tenor saxophone calling me home
  • And I can hear the band begin "When the Saints Go Marching In",
  • And by the whiskers on my chin, New Orleans, I'll be there
  • I'll drink you under the table, be red-nosed, go for walks,
  • The old haunts what I wants is red beans and rice
  • And wear the dress I like so well, and meet me at the old saloon,
  • Make sure that there's a Dixie moon, New Orleans, I'll be there
  • And deal the cards roll the dice, if it ain't that old Chuck E. Weiss,
  • And Claiborne Avenue, me and you Sam Jones and all
  • And 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 me
  • New Orleans, I'll be there
