My Little Old Home Down in New Orleans Songtext
von Hank Snow

I never knew that the place I grew was the grandest place on earth
′Til I roamed around from town to town, now I know what it's worth
Listen while I tell you ′bout the place, I mean
It's my little old home down in New Orleans

In the sunny South where the black oil flows
That's where I long to be
In the Dixie Land, where the white cotton grows
Is calling now to me
And soon, I′ll be in the land of my dreams
That′s my little old home down in New Orleans


I've been east, and way out west
I′ve been around 'most everywhere
Now I′m headed south for a good, long rest
I'll be glad when I get there
All the wonderful things in the world I′ve seen
Are a-waiting for me down in New Orleans

In the sunny south where the black oil flows
That's where I long to be
In the Dixie Land where the white cotton grows
Is calling now to me
And soon, I'll be in the land of my dreams
That′s my little old home down in New Orleans
