Dr. John - Down In New Orleans Lyrics
In the South Land, there's a city
Way down on the river
Where the women are very pretty
And all the men deliver
Start in the day time, go all through the night
When you hear that music playin'
Hear what I'm saying and make ya feel alright
Grab somebody, come on down
Bring your paintbrush, we're paintin' the town
Oh, there's some sweetness goin' 'round
Catch it down in New Orleans
We got magic, good and bad
Get everything you want or lose what you had
Down here in New Orleans
Hey partner, don't be shy
Come on down here and give us a try
You wanna do some livin' before you die?
Do it down in New Orleans
Stately homes and mansions
Of the Sugar Barons and the Cotton Kings
Rich people, poor people, all got dreams
Dreams do come true in New Orleans

Dr. John Down In New Orleans Comments
I live in New Orleans but I’m Dominican I love it here
Watching this movie in the theater when I was 4 was so magical, I had never seen a black princess before 👸🏽
Wow. Ten years already
Edit: almost ten years, two more months
Why do I love this soundtrack so much
I've been wanting to go to New Orleans for years
Same. Sounds pretty fun
Don't. It floods here so much you'll lose your car in one afternoon.
You should go! I went back in August, man everything is so fun. I actually got to meet the dude who was based off the firefly in this movie, he took us on a river tour. Man it sure is fun down there.
I live there, it’s great but if you come please don’t litter! We have so many tourists every year that litter and leave and it sucks.
@lil chipmunk Yep! Saw it first hand with a couple of drunk people. I saw the just throw the trash down 😫
Wait so randy newmen didn’t make this song??? Oh wow
He did. He is even credited on this video. He composed and wrote the lyrics for every song on the soundtrack. The only thing he didn't do is sing the parts himself.
Happy 10th Anniversary The Princess and the Frog
Dang. It has been 10 years
Has it really been that long already!?
I've been saying, for years, that Dr. John and Randy Newman should collaborate. When I saw this movie the first time, I nearly jumped out of my seat for this song! Now, "Make you happy; make you real sad." RIP, Dr. John, and thanks for everything!
R.I.P. 😢 💔
