I wish i was in new orleans lyrics

Artist  : Tom waits 
Song : I wish i was in new orleans
 
Well, I wish I was in new orleans, I can see it in
my dreams,
Arm-in-arm down burgundy, a bottle and my friends
and me

Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and
listen
To that tenor saxophone calling me home
And I can hear the band begin ’when the saints go
marching in’,
And by the whiskers on my chin, new orleans, I’ll
be there

I’ll drink you under the table, be red-nosed, go
for walks,
The old haunts what I wants is red beans and
rice
And wear the dress I like so well, and meet me at
the old saloon,
Make sure that there’s a dixie moon, new orleans,
I’ll be there

And deal the cards roll the dice, if it ain’t
that old chuck e. weiss,
And claiborne avenue, me and you sam jones and
all

And I wish I was in new orleans, ’cause I can see
it in my dreams,
Arm-in-arm down burgundy, a bottle and my friends
and me
New orleans, I’ll be there
