My Little Old Home Down In New Orleans

I never knew that the place I grew

Was the grandest place on earth

Till I roamed around from town to town

Now I know what it’s worth

Listen while I’ll tell you bout the place I mean

It’s my little ole home down in New Orleans

That’s where I long to be

In the Dixie land where the white cotton grows

Is calling now to me

And soon I’ll be in the land of my dreams

That’s my little ole home down in New Orleans

I’ve been around most everywhere

Now I’m heading south for a good long rest

I’ll be glad when I get there

All the wonderful things in the world I seen

Are a waiting for me down in New Orleans

That’s where I long to be

In the Dixie land where the white cotton grows

Is calling now to me

And soon I’ll be in the land of my dreams

That’s my little ole home down in New Orleans
