Noticed big mistake by concert booker - No "House of the Rising Sun"

[blm]

Even a classic New Orleans song can get forgotten, I guess.

Maybe Eric Burdon will pop up and surprise us.

1. what are some other NO songs??

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

3. 'Born on the Bayou' Creedence

[mcscajun]

14. "Ramblin' Man" has a nice reference...

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee,
They're always having a good time down on the bayou,
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me.

And Beausoleil does "Baby, Please Don't Go"

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Back to New Orleans
You know I love you so.

[Dudley_DUright]

2. I have been playing that song a lot on my guitar lately

:cry:

[Waya]

4. 'City of New Orleans'

...darn song been in my head for dang near two weeks now....

[TomInTib]

9. "I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done..." Lots of folks in

that boat right now.

[blm]

5. It would probably bring too many people to tears....high emotion song

.

[fooj]

6. I've been waiting on that one, myself

peace.

[Blue_Roses]

7. surely Aaron Neville

will sing. He brings tears to my eyes every time ...classic NO...:cry:

[lindisfarne]

8. I don't suppose any of the concert is being streamed on the net? n/t

[progressivebydesign]

10. That song has been in my head all week.

It would have been so powerful. But perhaps they felt it was too intense.

[blm]

11. I know if Burdon got up and sang it, there wouldn't be a dry eye left

except Barbara Bush's and her evil spawn.

12. "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans"

FREDDY "BOOM BOOM" CANNON lyrics - "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans"


www.OldieLyrics.com


(Henry Creamer and J. Turner Layton)

Well, way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden
Ah-you know what I mean

Yeah, Creole babies with flashin' eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop
Oh won't you give your lady fair
A little smile
And then you stop
You bet your life
You'll linger there
A little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans
Whoo

Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo
In the land of the dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden
Well you know what I mean

Well, Creole babies with flashin' eyes
Softly whisper with tender sighs
And then you stop
Oh won't you give your lady fair
A little smile
And then you stop
You bet your life
You'll linger there
A little while

Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
Well, way down yonder in New Orleans
Yeah
Whoo
