'Way Down Yonder in New Orleans

Текст песни Bing Crosby & Louis Armstrong - 'Way Down Yonder in New Orleans

Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden
Oh that's what I mean

Creole babies with flashin' eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs
Stop, won't you give your lady fair a little smile
Stop, bet your life you'll linger there a little while

There's heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
Down yonder in New Orleans

Way down yonder in New Orleans
Man you should have made all those scenes
Down on Bourbon and Rampart
Back there in the Teens
Way back yonder, these poor old chops
Had an ?? that was tops
You should have old Satchmo play
Chicks would leave their bulls to come and stand
Around the band

It was heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
Way down yonder in New Orleans
Orange blossoms, sweet aroma
And the strains of "La Paloma"
Seem to put you into a coma
When those sad men would play

We would dig the ??
King Oliver and Ferrante
Swinging the tiger, that's a-plenty
Until the break of day

Jambalaya, black-eyed peas
Wafting out on the evening breeze
Man, you should've seen these minstrel men
Do their parade
Man, you talk about your lemonade
Made in the shade

There's heaven right here on earth before rocket machines
Way down yonder in New Orleans
