Tell me down in New Orleans
  Whiskey's streaming just like wine
  Tell me down in New Orleans
  Whiskey's streaming just like wine
  Lord, my baby, she's down there
  Wonder if my baby, she's gone wild
  
  They tell me Canal Street
  Is the longest street in town
  They tell me Canal Street
  Is the longest street in town
  Yes, you ride all day long
  You're still on Canal Street
  
  Then they tell me again, people (Lord, have mercy)
  It's the widest street in town
  Then they tell me again
  It's the widest street in town
  Lord, I'm just gonna keep on riding
  Keep on, down in New Orleans
