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
