I’m going down
Down to New Orleans
Back to the city
To my river queen
So you can stop writing letters
And put that phone card away
Cause baby I’m coming home
I saved all my money
That I earned along the way
To wake up beside you
And lie in bed all day
So you can stop writing letters
And put that phone card away
When I get home
Will you meet me in your birthday suit
I’ll make up for those nights away from you
And we’ll fall in love all over again
Cause baby I’m coming home
So you can stop writing letters
And put that phone card away
When I get home
Will you meet me in your birthday suit
I’ll make up for the nights away from you
And we’ll fall in love all over
I’ll sing you to sleep again
We’ll be as far from lonely as we’ve ever been
And we’ll Fall in love all over again
Cause baby I’m coming home
Down to New Orleans
To my river queen
So you can stop writing letters
And put that phone card away
Yeah baby I’m coming home
