Goin' down south from Ohio,
Gonna have a good time up the bayou
Got my place on Bourbon Street,
Gonna beat that southern heat,
Gonna raise hell when I get there
Gonna get drunk and I don't care on Bourbon Street

I'm going down, down, down, down,
down, down, down on Bourbon Street

Got my limo and white dress shoes
Gonna find me some rhythm and blues
Gonna get me a lady so fine
Gonna buy her the finest French wine
Won't you lady come with me
Don't you worry this ride's on me on Bourbon Street

I'm going down, down, down, down,
down, down, down on Bourbon Street

Dance to the music all night long
Come on baby let's sing that song
Gotta keep your eyes on me
Watch real close I'll set you free
Tell everybody to watch my feet,
I'll show them to beat that southern heat on Bourbon Street

I'm going down, down, down, down,
down, down, down on Bourbon Street

The time is getting very late
No more Creole food on my plate
My lady's giving me the sign
Thank you Lord, I'm yours, she's mine
Call the limo let them know
We're goin' to Tipitina's for the last show On Bourbon Street

I'm going down, down, down, down,
down, down, down on Bourbon Street
I'm going down, down, down, down,
down, down, down on Bourbon Street
