I Wish I Was In New Orleans - Mavis Staples

Verse 1:

I got my dreams and my bag of dreams

Got my worries and my love to send

Trying to keep up with the Joneses

And it’s not easy, no

Chorus:

I wish I was in New Orleans

Got my money in my pocket and I’m ready to go

Gonna ride on a Mardi Gras float

Yeah, I’m gonna be my own king, oh

Verse 2:

Living on a budget and a prayer

Trying to make it through another day

Trying to find a way to make it

But it’s not easy, no

Chorus:

I wish I was in New Orleans

Got my money in my pocket and I’m ready to go

Gonna ride on a Mardi Gras float

Yeah, I’m gonna be my own king, oh

Bridge:

Let the good times roll on

I don’t need a superstition or no thing to go with you, no

Take the river or the lake and if you’re lost we’ll find you, oh

When we meet you got a crown, oh yeah

Chorus:

I wish I was in New Orleans

Got my money in my pocket and I’m ready to go

Gonna ride on a Mardi Gras float

Yeah, I’m gonna be my own king, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
