## Lyrics
[verse]
I packed my bag, said goodbye to the rain
Left the gray city on a slow-movin' train
Got off in Memphis when the tracks ran dry
Now I'm walkin' south beneath the open sky

[chorus]
Walkin' to New Orleans, mile after mile
Walkin' to New Orleans, chasin' that smile
Walkin' to New Orleans, my feet are sore
But my heart keeps callin' me back to that shore

[verse]
Passed through cotton fields and dusty little towns
Every stranger's face just wears a different frown
But I keep on movin', I won't turn back
There's a life down there I'm tryin' to get back

[chorus]
Walkin' to New Orleans, mile after mile
Walkin' to New Orleans, chasin' that smile
Walkin' to New Orleans, my feet are sore
But my heart keeps callin' me back to that shore

[bridge]
I can hear the river before I see the sign
I can hear the horns playin' just in time
Every step is bringin' me closer to
The only place I ever called true

[chorus]
Walkin' to New Orleans, mile after mile
Walkin' to New Orleans, chasin' that smile
Walkin' to New Orleans, my feet are sore
But my heart keeps callin' me back to that shore
