Lyrics: Charles, Domino
Music: ?Charles, Domino, Bartholomew
Sung by Katie Skene with David Nelson and California Kind in October 2017 as a tribute to Fats Domino, who had died shortly before.
This time I'm walking to New Orleans
Yes, I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm gonna need two pair of shoes
When I get through walking these blues
I'm walking 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 home to stay
Yes, I'm walking to New Orleans
You used to be my honey
Till you spent all my money
I'll leave you by and by
There's no need for you to cry
'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
I'm walking to New Orleans
Yes, I'm walking to New Orleans
Yes, I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm leaving here today
You know I'm going home to stay
walking to New Orleans
Yes, I'm walking
I'm walking' to New Orleans
I'm leaving here today
You know I'm going home to stay
I'm walking to New Orleans
I'm leaving here today
You know I'm going home to stay
I'm walking to New Orleans
