[From August 18, 2002 version]

Whipporwill singing
A soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans

Now you're here sleeping
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had

You're whispering "good morning"
Gently in my ear
I'm comin' home to you, babe
I'll soon be there

Whipporwill singing
A soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans
