Loading...

[spoken intro: robbie robertson]
we’re going to bring out another friend of ours now to do this tune with mac, bobby charles. great, great, great songwriter. bobby charles! he wrote “see you later, alligator”

[chorus: levon helm, rick danko, robbie robertson, bobby charles, dr. john]
down south in new orleans
the prettiest girls i’ve ever seen
sparklin’ eyes, lips so sweet
we make love to the rumba beat
the ships have anchored, my suitcase packed
i got a one+way ticket, ain’t comin’ back
life’s a pleasure and love’s a treat
down south in new orlеans

[verse 1: levon helm, rick danko]
my dark+eyed baby, i’m on my way
back into your arms to stay
i’m tryin’ to work, i wanna play
make sweet lovе to you night and day

[chorus: levon helm, rick danko, robbie robertson, bobby charles, dr. john]
down south in new orleans
the prettiest girls i’ve ever seen
sparklin’ eyes, lips so sweet
we make love to the rumba beat
the ships have anchored, my suitcase packed
i got a one+way ticket, ain’t comin’ back
life’s a pleasure, love’s a treat
down south in new orleans
[solo]

[verse 2: bobby charles, dr. john]
i want to get too loose on toulouse street
i wanna kiss all the pretty ol’ girls i’ve seen
drink all day, dance all night
do it wrong ’til i do it right

[chorus: levon helm, rick danko, robbie robertson, bobby charles, dr. john]
down south in new orleans
the prettiest girls i’ve ever seen
sparklin’ eyes, lips so sweet
we make love to the rumba beat
the ships have anchored, my suitcase packed
i got a one+way ticket, ain’t comin’ back
life’s a pleasure and love’s a treat
down south in new orleans
