I heard this on Spotify, where it was strangely attributed to "Susie-Sue," but you can hear what I believe to be the same recording with the correct attribution on YouTube. The artist's name was inconsistently spelled on various record labels and album covers, sometimes appearing as "Newsome."


NEW ORLEANS LOVER MAN
As sung by Chubby "Hip Shakin'" Newsom and her Hip Shakers (1949)

Hey, ev'rything is fine in New Orleans.
I say, hey, ev'rything is fine in New Orleans.
Well, I've got a man who's ev'ry woman's dream.

That man loves me like no other man can.
Yes, he loves me like no other man can.
That's why I call him my New Orleans lover man.

When he's around, makes me feel so fine.
When he's around, makes me feel so fine,
And when he loves me, chills run up and down my spine.

Well, the things he does make me scream.
Now all you girls know what I mean.
That man can love me like no other can.
That's why I call him my New Orleans lover man.

He does what he ain't done before.
He keeps me beggin' for a little bit more.
Man can love me like no other can.
That's why I call him my New Orleans lover man.

He says, "You ain't good lookin' but you're built quality.
The lovin' you've got been a stint(?) for me."
My man can love me like no other can.
That's why I call him my New Orleans lover man.
