Way Down Yonder In New Orleans lyrics

Way Down Yonder In New Orleans

 Freddy "Boom-Boom" Cannon

 Written by Henry Creamer and J. Turner Layton

 

 Peaked at # 3 in 1960

 

 Well, way down yonder in New Orleans in the land of the dreamy scenes

 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!
