On the water down in New Orleans<br />
My baby's the pearl of the quarter<br />
She's a charmer like you've never seen<br />
Singing voulez, voulez, voulez vous<br />
<br />
Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay<br />
Red beans and rice for a quarter<br />
You can see her almost every day<br />
Singing voulez, voulez, voulez vous<br />
<br />
If you hear from my sweet Louise<br />
Won't you tell her I love her?<br />
And you make it clear when her day is done<br />
She's got a place to go?<br />
<br />
I walked alone down the miracle mile<br />
I met my baby by the shrine of the martyr<br />
She stole my heart with her Cajun smile<br />
Singing voulez, voulez, voulez vous<br />
<br />
She loved the million dollar words I'd say<br />
She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her<br />
Said she loved me and was on her way<br />
Singing voulez, voulez, voulez vous<br />
<br />
If you hear from my sweet Louise<br />
Won't you tell her I love her?<br />
And you make it clear when her day is done<br />
She's got a place to go?<br />
<br />
My sweet Louise<br />
Won't you tell her I love her?<br />
And you make it clear when her day is done<br />
She's got a place to go?<br />
<br />
My sweet Louise<br />
Won't you tell her I love her?<br />
And you make it clear when her day is done<br />
She's got a place to go?<br />
<br />
My sweet Louise<br />
My sweet Louise<br />
My sweet Louise
