'Way Down Yonder In New Orleans
by Creamer-Layton (1917)
'Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden
That's what I mean
Creole babies with flashing eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs
Stop, oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile
Stop, you'll bet your life you'll linger there a little while
There's a heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
'Way down yonder in New Orleans
