Great R&R hit from 1959/60. It made #3 in both the UK & US charts. I've 'enhanced' the original mono sound for added enjoyment. For superior Stereo sound add &fmt=18 to the url and refresh .... or better still go to http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zAF5V0V_xlo&fmt=18 (Recommended) 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 Way down yonder in New Orleans, 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

Sep 27, 2008 - I played this song over and over. It got me interested in Dixieland bands. I even bought a Dixieland album. But I never played that album like I played this classic rock and roll song. This is truly a smokin' oldie.
