Got my suitcase in my hand

Lucky Dog cart!

This time I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm walkin' to New Orleans
I'm going to need two pair of shoes
When I get through walkin' me blues
When I get back to New Orleans

I've got my suitcase in my hand
Now, ain't that a shame
I'm leavin' here today
Yes, I'm goin' back home to stay
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans

I've got no time for talkin'

I've got to keep on walkin'
New Orleans is my home
That's the reason why I'm goin'
Yes, I'm walkin' to New Orleans

No, I'm not walking - but I'm going to visit the city next week. I'll be visiting the University, attending a fiction reading, meeting some internet friends in person, and looking at apartments.
