NOW STOP THAT CRYING, HONEY DEAR,

THE JACKSON SQUARE REMAINS STILL HERE

IN SUNNY NEW ORLEANS

IN LOVELY LOUISIANA

SHE THINKS ME BURIED IN THE SEA,

NO LONGER DOES SHE WAIT FOR ME

IN SUNNY NEW ORLEANS

IN LOVELY LOUISIANA

THE DEATH-SHIP IS IT I AM IN,

ALL HAVE I LOST, NOTHING TO WIN

SO FAR OFF SUNNY NEW ORLEANS

SO FAR OFF LOVELY LOUISIANA
