lyrics

Well I was downtown, just a-tunin' my strings
Trying to make a living round New Orleans
When she strolled by, oh man, how she looked at me
I said, "Hey Baby Angel, you must have forgot your wings"

She said to me, "I love it when you talk like that"
She said, "Don't you ever leave"
She took down her dress, and I could see her silhouette
Guess I'm heading back down to New Orleans

Well she floats like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Her legs are dynamite, man you ought to see
When she's walking, short skirt and six-inch heels OH
A swing of her hips really make me spin my wheels

She said to me, "I love it when you talk like that"
She said, "Don't you ever leave"
She took down her dress, and I could see her silhouette
Guess I'm heading back down to New Orleans

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Well I'm rollin' and tumblin'
Got me all night long
Well I'm rollin' and tumblin'
Got me all night long
When I went off to bed, all I had was gone

She said to me, "I love it when you talk like that"
She said, "Don't you ever leave"
She took down her dress, and I could see her silhouette
Guess I'm heading back down to New Orleans

I'm the kind of man, heart's full of desire
She's the kind of woman, really light my fire
Drinking, and a-dancing, and a-singing in the rain
Well if this is just a dream, I don't ever want to wake again

She said to me, "I love it when you talk like that"
She said, "Don't you ever leave"
She took down her dress, and I could see her silhouette
Guess I'm heading back down to New Orleans
New Orleans
New Orleans
New Orleans, yeah
