What? Another song about New Orleans? Just what the world needs. Sorry but me and Moonli ght were there 3 weeks ago and just love the town. This is our tribute to the great city.

haha, at first i thought you tweaked your vocals ... beautiful hommage to this city, when i'm in the US i defo will pay a visit!

Beautiful city, I enjoyed my stay there :-) lovely nostalgic song

Lovely retro-vibe, the groove is very natural and good vocals

Travel song, air in the hair, sense of freedom.

Gave up home
And history
Moved on down 
To New Orleans

Tried to make it
Singing in clubs
Pedal steel
And no overdubs

Made a deal 
With a voodoo master
Get me to the top
That much faster

Now you say you’re here
To take me home
Sorry boy
You’re leaving alone

No phone calls, please
And no e-mails
This city owns me
Can’t you tell?

Don’t ask me questions
I won’t talk
If you approach me
I’ll take a walk

I know every street car
Crack in the pavement
Places I can lay low
Bars to escape in

Because I’m bad news
Not worth the effort
Find another woman
You can do better

I sold my soul
To New Orleans
French Quarter
Guitars and accordions
Mississippi River
Playing for the audience
I sold my soul
To New Orleans

Today’s your flight out
I forgot
Could have marked it on my calendar
But I did not

So save your emotions
For someone else
Here’s a farewell card
Says ‘Go to hell’

Shop next door
Sells souvenirs
A dirty shot glass
I don’t care

If the liquor’s poison
If it tastes like blood
I’ll have another 
Now you better run

I sold my soul
To New Orleans
French Quarter
Guitars and accordions
Mississippi River
Playing for the audience
I sold my soul
To New Orleans

I told you when we met
You’d get hurt
Burned like a match
Swept away like dirt

Hosed down  like garbage
Stuck to Bourbon Street
Broken like a levee
Smoked like meat

Now you left home
And you’re here to stay
I warned you
You’d become my prey

Well, I’ll find you a place 
In my trousseau
Save you for the city
That owns my soul

New Orleans
I’m your devoted bride
The river swells
Fills me up inside

I sold my soul
To New Orleans
French Quarter
Guitars and accordions
Mississippi River
Playing for the audience
I sold my soul
To New Orleans
