I'm goin' down to New Orleans baby behind the rising sun
Goin' down to New Orleans baby behind the rising sun
Lord I've just found out my trouble has just begun
Oh went to see a gypsy woman have my fortune told
Went to see that gypsy woman have my fortune told have my fortune told
I got a 32 special built on a cross of wood
I got a 32 special built on a cross of wood
I got a 38 20 well it's twice as good
I'm goin' down to New Orleans mama with my hat in my hand
Goin' down to New Orleans mama with my hat in my hand
Now I hate to leave you but you just don't understand
I'm goin' down to New Orleans baby behind the rising sun
Goin' down to New Orleans baby behind the rising sun
Lord I've just found out my trouble has just begun
