Lyrics for Down in Old New Orleans

Down in Old New Orleans (MP3)

I went down to Old New Orleans, just to hang around.
And down along the water, some guys were gettin' down.
Blowin' Jazz, it was smooth and the melody grew, down this way.

I sat down on the corner lookin' out across the water.
Diggin' that magical sound they made.

I said man I gotta tell ya, I so dig the way you play
if I could do some scattin', I won't get in the way.
We'll get down with the sound that is now rarely round today.

Some magic's gonna happen when you feel your fingers snappin'
to that magical sound they made.

Instrumental interlude...

So if you're down in Old New Orleans, just to hang around,
down along the water, listen for the sound.
Blowin' Jazz, where it's smooth and the melody is softly played.

Some magic's gonna happen,
when you feel your fingers snappin' to that magical sound they make…
to that magical sound...
to that magical sound...
to that magical sound...
to that magical sound.
