Oh, My Nola

Oh my Nola

Same old song and dance

Don't let her catch you with a care

She won't let you down

If you give yourself a chance

Oh won't you let me take you there

Oh my Nola

Never goes away

Look for her crescent inner moon

And if you listen

When you walk the du

Veinz Carre

You'll hear that gentle

Creole tune

How proud would

Louis and

Mahalia be

To know that their memory was safe with me

Oh my Nola

Old and true and strong

Just like a tall magnolia tree

Sit me in the shade

And I'm right where

I belongOh my

New Orleans

Wait for me

How proud would

Satchmo and

Mahalia be

To know that their memory was safe with me

Oh my Nola

Old and true and strong

Just like a tall magnolia tree

Sit me in the shade

And I'm right where

I belongOh my

New Orleans

Wait for me
