This time I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm gonna need two pair-a shoes
When I get through walking these blues
When I get back to New Orleans

I've got my suitcase in my hand
Now ain't that a shame?
I'm leaving here today
Yes, I'm going back home to stay
Yes, I'm walking to New Orleans

You used to be my honey
'Til you spent all my money
No use for you to cry
I'll see you by and by
'Cause I'm walking to New Orleans

I've got no time for talking
I've got to keep on walking
New Orleans is my home
That's the reason why I'm gone
Yes I'm walking to New Orleans
New Orleans is my home
That's the reason why I'm gone
Yes I'm walking to New Orleans

Walking, walking, walking, walking
(I'm walking to New Orleans)
I'm walking, walking, walking

I'm walking to New Orleans
(Walking, walking, walking)
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking, walking, walking, walk-
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans
