I got your letter in my hand
catch your body on that cannonball
I got to go with that southern wind blow
New Orleans, sweet New Orleans
Oh, I'm looking out the window
Chasing the clouds out of the sky
I can see you sitting pretty
in that Louisiana sun, oh how it shines
I'm in love with your sweet Dixie smile
Hear me say fireman, fireman, fireman
Keep your whistle blowing, blowing
Hear me say fireman, fireman, fireman
Keep your big wheels rolling, rolling
Oh, I'm gonna strut to downtown,
I got on my top hat and dancing shoes
Oh, I'm gonna strut to downtown,
Singing those sweet time Dixie blues
Isn't it jazz man, jazz man, jazz man?
Keep your music blowin', blowin'
And they say fireman, oh,
Keep those big wheels rollin', rollin'
Keep them rollin' down to New Orleans
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Oh, New Orleans, New Orleans
