I'm Talkin' Bout New Orleans

by Leroy Jones

about

"Beyond the compelling reggae riddums, the sheer musicality of the ensemble makes this single ready to slip into the Mardi Gras or just plain New Orleans repertoire." Louisiana Weekly

lyrics

Rollin' down the river in a boat for two
Back to that city where I met you
A city full of charm where the climate is warm
The people there, they don't fear storms

I'm talkin' bout New Orleans
I'm talkin' bout New Orleans
I'm talkin' bout New Orleans
It's the land of dreams

A city I know where there's always a show
In winter there you won't find snow
A place that moves at a laid back pace and
Will always welcome that new face

I'm talkin' bout New Orleans
I'm talkin' bout New Orleans
I'm talkin' bout New Orleans
It's the land of dreams
