4-Bar Intro

Verse 1

GUESS! WHERE DO YOU THINK I'M GO-IN' WHEN THE WINDS START BLOW-IN' STRONG?
GUESS! WHERE DO YOU THINK I'M GO-IN' WHEN THE NIGHTS START GROW-IN' LONG?
I AIN'T GO-IN' EAST, I AIN'T GO-IN' WEST,
I AIN'T GO-IN' O-VER THE CUCK-OO'S NEST,
I'M BOUND FOR THE TOWN THAT I LOVE BEST,
WHERE LIFE IS ONE SWEET SONG.

Verse 2

GUESS! WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M THINK-IN' WHEN YOU THINK I'M THINKIN' WRONG?
GUESS! WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M THINK-IN' WHEN I'M THINK-IN' ALL NIGHT LONG?
I AIN'T THINK'IN THIS, I AIN'T THINK-IN' THAT,
O CAN-NOT BE THINK-IN' A-BOUT YOUR HAT,
MY HEART DOES NOT START TO PIT-A-PAT,
UN-LESS I HEAR THIS SONG

Chorus 1

'WAY DOWN YON-DER IN NEW OR-LEANS,
IN THE LAND OF DREAM-Y SCENES,
THERE'S A GAR-DEN OF E-DEN,
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN,
CRE-OLE BA-BIES WITH FLASH-ING EYES,
SOFT-LY WHIS-PER WITH TEN-DER SIGHS,
STOP! OH! WON'T YOU GIVE YOUR LA-DY FAIR A LIT-TLE SMILE,
STOP! YOU BET YOUR LIFE YOU'LL LIN-GER THERE A LIT-TLE WHILE,
THERE IS HEAV-EN RIGHT HERE ON EARTH, WITH THOSE BEAU-TI-FUL QUEENS,
'WAY DOWN YON-DER IN NEW OR-LEANS

Chorus 2

'WAY DOWN YON-DER IN NEW OR-LEANS,
IN THE LAND OF DREAM-Y SCENES,
THERE'S A GAR-DEN OF E-DEN,
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN,
CRE-OLE BA-BIES WITH FLASH-ING EYES,
SOFT-LY WHIS-PER WITH TEN-DER SIGHS,
STOP! OH! WON'T YOU GIVE YOUR LA-DY FAIR A LIT-TLE SMILE,
STOP! YOU BET YOUR LIFE YOU'LL LIN-GER THERE A LIT-TLE WHILE,
THE'VE GOT AN-GELS RIGHT HERE ON EARTH, WEAR-ING LIT-TLE BLUE JEANS,
'WAY DOWN YON-DER IN NEW OR-LEANS
