I'm goin' down in Louisiana
Be, be, behind the sun
I'm goin' down in Louisiana
Honey, behind the sun
Well, you know I just found out

My troubles just begun
I'm goin' down in New Orleans, hmm
Get me a mojo hand
I'm goin' down in New Orleans
Get me a mojo hand

(spoken: oh take me with you, man, when you goin')
I'm 'on show all you goodlookin' women
Yes, how to treat your love
(spoken: let's go back to New Orleans)
