Walkin' To New Orleans Lyrics

This time I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm going to need two pair of shoes
When I get through walking these blues
When I get back to New Orleans

I've got my suitcase in my hand
Now, ain't that a shame
I'm leaving here today
Yes, I'm going back home to stay
Yes, I'm walking to New Orleans

You used to be my honey
Till you spent all my money
No use for you to cry
I'll see you by and by
Cause I'm walking to New Orleans

I've got no time for talking
I've got to keep on walking
New Orleans is my home
That's the reason why I'm going
Yes, I'm walking to New Orleans

I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm walking to New Orleans

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
