hank snow - my little ole home down in new orleans lyrics
i never knew that the place i grew
is the grandest place on earth.
’till i roamed around from town to town
but now i know what it’s worth.
listen while i tell you ’bout the place i mean
it’s my little old home down in new orleans.
oh-de-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee.
in the sunny south where the black oil flows,
that’s where i long to be.
the dixie-land, where the white cotton grows
is calling now to me.
and soon i’ll be in the land of my dreams;
it’s my little old home down in new orleans.
oh-de-lay-ee, ay-ee, oh-lay-ee.
oh-de-lay-he-ay, oh lay-ee.
ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, ay-oh-lay-ee
oh-de-lay-ee-ay, le-oh-lay-ee, oh, oh-lay-ee
i’ve been east, and way out west,
been around most everywhere.
now i’m headed south for a good long rest.
i’ll be glad when i get there.
all the wonderful things, it seems,
are awaiting for me down in new orleans.
oh-de-lay-ee, ay-ee, oh-lay-ee.
in the sunny south where the black oil flows,
that’s where i long to be.
the dixie-land, where the white cotton grows
is calling now to me.
and soon i’ll be in the land of my dreams;
and that’s my little old home down in new orleans.
oh-de-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee, oh-lay-ee.
oh-de-lay-he-ay, oh lay-ee.
ah-lee-oh-lay-ee, ay-oh-lay-ee
oh-de-lay-ee-ay, le-oh-lay-ee-ee, oh, oh-lay-ee
