I'm going down to New Orleans
Magic and voodoo I do seek
There with the gypsies I will be
Forbidden treasures I will see
I'm a runaway
No place to call home
I'm a runaway
Find a cheap chateau
I'm a runaway
Nobody knows
I'm goin' down
Never will I be found
I'm gonna go to Bourbon Street
The French quarter lurks and waits for me
There I will find the key I need
To unlock its chest of mystery
I'm a runaway
Got no place to go
I'm a runaway
Find a cheap shadow
I'm a runaway
Nobody knows
I'm goin' down
Never will I be found
When I'm on the lonely road
There's only one place to go
Where I feel I'm not alone to sleep
There vibrations hypnotize
All my senses realize
This could be the only place for me…
I'm goin' down to New Orleans
The secret is kept below the sea
There in the swamplands I will be
I'll never return to my city
