New OrleansyipyipNew Orleansyip yipLeft my home in Texas bound for New Orleans.New OrleansyipyipNew Orleansyipyip.Left my home in Texas for New Orleans.Ain't no doubt about itdon't see no way round itLeft my girl in Maybeline and got on board the River Queen.Should have faced the jury but I was in a hurryGot on board the River Queen and headed down to New Orleans.Happened to be on the River Boat QueenRiver Boat Queen bound for New OrleansHappened to be on the River Boat QueenRiver Boat Queenbound forNew OrleansyipyipNew OrleansyipyipLeft my home in Texas bound for New OrleansNew OrleansyipyipNew Orleansyipyip.Left my home in Texas for New Orleans.I've left friends behind mealthough they still remind meI was feelin' doggone meanso headed down to New Orleans.I've lost all my money and I don't think it's funnyI gambled on the River Queen headin' down to New OrleansHappened to be on the River Boat Queen. . .Smokin'gamblin'drinkin' but when I started thinkin'Somethin' that I should have seen never left for New OrleaI got drunk one night and then she just picked a fightNow I'm on the River Queen headin' down to New Orleans.Happened to be on the River Boat Queen. . .
