[Verse 1] Take me down, ol river man Lord to set me free Ive crossed the highest hills To tell what I believe God above, he spoke to me Whispered in my dream Said Find the old blind river man Ride to New Orleans Down in New Orleans [Verse 2] Its yonder past the lily pads Through the kudzu vine Underneath the hanging moss You wont need a sign To find the land a music man Can sing and make a dime Yonder past the lily pads Through the kudzu vine Through the kudzu vine [Chorus] In New Orleans In New Orleans Oh yeah [Verse 3] Sunday there at the Congo Square The rhythm never dies Oneeye Jack in the big top hat Keepin the beat on time Creole man with a fiddle in hand Sawing down the line Sunday there at the Congo square The rhythm never dies The rhythm never dies [Chorus] In New Orleans New Orleans Oh down in New Orleans Oh down in New Orleans [Outro] And I wait as the trumpets call all the saints to see Parades are marching down the streets Down in New Orleans Down in New Orleans Down in New Orleans Hey yeah Hey yeah
