Way down Louisiana way, where the Saints go marching in
Sin steals down the French Quarter alleys, is it all for fun
Not sure where to begin
But don't cross the line, don't take a wrong turn

There's a very good reason, you'll see what I mean
Why the Saints that marched in are nowhere to be found
And praying don't work down in New Orleans
Jazz come drifting out of Pirate's Alley

Absinthe sure do make you high
Clock strikes twelve, don't hear no bells
Pray to Jesus, don't get no reply
Don't get no reply

You're just too late and your time has run out
It's the witching hour, the street's getting mean
Still you're trying to pray, but the Saints have left town
And praying don't work down in New Orleans

You might be safe this side of midnight
Don't go messing with the other side
Church gates chained, courtyard dark
And the fortune tellers are telling all kind of lies

All kind of lies
Saint Joan of Arc, find my poor lost soul
Holy Ghost, won't you please come walk with me
But it's way too late and the Saints have left town

And the ghosts aren't holy down in New Orleans
