Way Down Yonder in New Orleans Songtext
von Al Jolson

Way down in New Orleans
In the land of the dreamy scenes
There′s a Garden of Eden
Just what I mean

Creole babies with flashin' eyes
Softly whisper their tender sighs
Then stop, won′t you give your lady fair a little smile
Stop, ya bet your life you'll linger there a little while

There is heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
Way down yonder in New Orleans
Way down in New Orleans
Way down in the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a Garden of Eden
You know that′s what I mean


Creole babies with flashin′ eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs
Stop, won't you give your lady fair a little smile
Stop, ya bet your life you′ll linger there a little while
They got angels right here right here on earth
All wearin' little blue jeans
Way down yonder in New Orleans

Stop, won′t you give your lady fair a little smile
Stop, ya bet your life you'll linger there a little while
There is Heaven right here right here on earth
With those beautiful quees
Way down yonder in New Orleans
Way down in New Orleans
In the land of the dreamy scenes
There′s a Garden of Eden
That's what I mean
Creole babies with flashin' eyes
Softly whisper their tender sighs
Oh stop, won′t you give your lady fair a little smile
I said Stop, ya bet your life you′ll linger there a little while
There is Heaven right here right here on earth
With those beautiful quees
Way down yonder in New Orleans
