Dr. John - Goin' Back to New Orleans Lyrics

Goin' back home, fe nan e'
To the land of the beautiful queen
Goin' back to home to my baby
Goin' back to New Orleans

On the double
Here comes the Neville Brothers

Seeing na-na, my parin
Couzine and my ma and pa
Want to plant my feet on Rampart Street
Be there for the Mardi Gras

Goin' back home, fe nan e'
And never more will I roam
Goin' get me fill of that etoufee
'Cause New Orleans is my home

Is that a jumbo jet?
No, that's Big Al comin'
To put a hurt on you

On the level
There's Charlie Neville

Get some crawfish, jambalaya
Red beans and fine pralines
Get some lovin' that gonna satisfy
Home in New Orleans

Goin' back home, fe nan e'
In the land of the Carnival Queen
I'm goin' back home to my baby
Goin' back to New Orleans

I want go back home
Back where I'm little known
Yeah, home, boss
You're home sweet home

Here come Pete Fountain

I want to see some
On that Mardi Gras queen
Good red beans
Baby, I want to go back home
Home, sweet home
Home back to New Orleans

Goin' back home, fe nan e'
In the land of the Carnival Queen
I'm goin' back home to my baby
Goin' back to New Orleans
