Em
I walk the streets of New Orleans
C B7 C B7
With the girl of my dream's
Em
I've seen a dozen brass bands play and swing
C B7 C B7
While little children laugh , dance & sing
Em
I've seen old men drunk singin' the blues
C B7 C B7
With top hats and canes and spectator shoes
Em
I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
C* B7* C B7
With a girl, the city and the river of mud
[Chorus]

Let me know! Let me know! where I can go to save my soul?

Em
I had a drink with ol' Louies' ghost
C B7 C B7
He was our most gracious host
Em
I've heard Gabriel singin' and playing his horn
C B7 C B7
And lived to see the day both my babies were born
Em
I love Jelly, Fats, Fes and king
C B7 C B7
They were the ones that taught the world to swing
Em
I consider myself lucky to have fallen in love
C* B7* C B7
With the music, the city and the river of mud

Let me know! Let me know! where I can go to save my soul?
