DOWN SOUTH IN NEW ORLEANS Words and music by Jack Anglin, Jim Anglin, and Johnnie Wright. As sung by Doug Kershaw & Rustyn on "Cajun Shuffle" (2011) CHORUS: Down south in New Orleans, The purtiest girl that I ever seen. Sparklin' eyes, lips so sweet, We make love to a Cajun beat. 1. My ship's at anchor; my suitcase packed. I got a one-way ticket; ain't comin' back. Life's a pleasure; I love to dream Down south in New Orleans. CHORUS 2. My dark-eyed baby, I'm on my way. I'm back into your arms to stay. I'm tired o' work; I'm gonna play. I'm gonna make love to you night and day. CHORUS 3. I want to get loose on Toulouse Street. I want to kiss all the purty girls I see, Drink all day, dance all night, Do it wrong till I do it right. CHORUS TWICE Also sung by: Josh Graves and Delbert McClinton, The Band, Dry Branch Fire Squad, Lou Ann Barton, Coal Creek Bluegrass Band, Throwin' Cat, Mac Martin, Middle Spunk Creek Boys, and Biff Moss.
