Lyrics Dr. John – Goin’ Back To New Orleans

Goin’ back home, fe nan e’
To the land of the beautiful queen
Goin back to home to my baby
Goin’ back to New Orleans

Spoken:
On the double, here comes the Neville Brothers!

Seeing na-na, my parin,
Couzine and my ma and pa
Want to plant my feet on Rampart Street
Be there for the Mardi Gras

Goin’ back home, fe nan e’
And never more will I roam
Goin get me fill of that etoufee
Cus New Orleans is my home

Spoken:
Is that a jumbo jet?
No, that’s Big Al comin’ to put a hurt on you

Spoken:
On the level, there’s Charlie Neville

Get some crawfish, jambalaya
Red beans and fine pralines
Get some lovin’ that gonna satisfy
Home in New Orleans

Neville Brothers:
Goin’ back home, fe nan e’
In the land of the Carnival Queen
I’m goin’ back home to my baby
Goin’ back to New Orleans

I want go back home
Back where I’m little known

Here come Pete Fountain

I want to see some
On that Mardi Gras queen
Good red beans
Baby, I want to go back home
Home, sweet home
Home back to New Orleans

Fade out with the Neville Brothers:
Goin’ back home, fe nan e’
In the land of the Carnival Queen
I’m goin’ back home to my baby
Goin’ back to New Orleans
