Lyrics: Elvis Presley. New Orleans.

You'll never know what heaven means
Until you've been down to New Orleans
You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo
Oh, with the black-eyed baby by the old bayou

You've never seen, you've never seen those cupid doll queens
Like they got 'em in New Orleans
And they love you like no one can
It makes you awful glad that you were born a man

Hey, if, if, if you ain't been there, man you ain't been nowhere
The livin's lazy and the lovin's fine
If you feel low down, so help me Hannah
You should lose the blues in Louisiana

Get the lead, get the lead out of your jeans
And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where, New Orleans
Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile, live it up
Love it up, southern style way down in New, New Orleans
