This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm going to need two pair of shoes
When I get through walkin' me blues
When I get back to New Orleans I've got my suitcase in my hand
Now, ain't that a shame
I'm leavin' here today
Yes, I'm goin' back home to stay
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans You used to be my honey
Till you spent all my money
No use for you to cry
I'll see you bye and bye
'Cause I'm walkin' to New Orleans I've got no time for talkin'
I've got to keep on walkin'
New Orleans is my home
That's the reason while I'm gone
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
Thank You for the lyrics!

""Walking to New Orleans" is a 1960 song by Bobby Charles, written for and recorded by Fats Domino.
Domino was a hero of Charles. Domino had previously recorded the
Charles tune "Before I Grow Too Old". When Domino stopped on tour in Lafayette, Louisiana,
he invited Charles into his dressing room, and regretted he did not
have a copy of his new record to give to Charles, but invited Charles to
come visit him in Domino's home of New Orleans.
Charles replied, "I don't have a car. If I'd go, I'd have to walk."
Afterwards, the thought remained on Charles's mind, and he said he wrote
the song for Domino in some 15 minutes."
Extraordinary rendition by Neil Young of the song "Walking to New Orleans" (by Bobby Charles, written for and recorded by Fats Domino).
"Im 14 and just started listening to blues, found artist like muddy waters bo diddley neil young bb king and more realizing that these artist are at the heart of music. This is better than new fake artist who make songs with weird lyrics. this music is real words from the heart."
"There's some good old stuff. You might want to check out Chess Record label (search YT). But don't write off your own generation, there's some good stuff being produced today, and many will be tomorrow's classics. So research music roots by all means, but keep an open outlook. A wide music experience is better than a narrow one."
what a pleasure to hear this
