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.
