Way Down Yonder In New Orleans
Eydie Gorme · Other Songs - Eydie Gorme
There's a garden of Eden, ah-you know what I mean
Yeah, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender
sighs
And then you stop!
Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop!
You bet your life you'll linger there a little while
Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans
Whoo!
Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo!, in the land of the dreamy
scenes
There's a garden of Eden, you know what I mean
Well, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender
sighs
And then you stop!
Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?
And then you stop!
You bet your life you'll linger there a little while
Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens
Well, way down yonder in New Orleans
Yeah! whoo!
