Feelin' kind of melancholy, made up my mind to go away
And though some folks says it's folly, sometimes it helps, and fades away
To forget the man you love, although he may be mean
Goodbye folks, I'm on my way, straight down to New Orleans
Goin' to New Orleans to find that lucky rock
Goin' to New Orleans to find that lucky rock
Tryin' to rid myself of this bad luck I've got
On my way to find that lucky rock
Oh, I'm on my way to find that lucky rock
Just to ease my mind off all this trouble I've got
