Girl in New Orleans Lyrics by Sarah Dougher

Day One

1999

I met you in May, we didn't get on right away
But we hung out everyday
I fell in love as spring gave way to summer,
And the creek dried out
We walked along it everyday
You never once did say that she was waiting
She was waiting, she was waiting
You had a girl in New Orleans
You had a girl in New Orleans
You had a girl in New Orleans
You had a girl in New Orleans
We would sit so near on the blanket,
On the beach, and we'd walk out on the pier
You always seemed so out of reach
But if i could feel what i felt then
I'd gladly do it over again
You broke my heart so slow
I hated to see you, hated to see you go
But you had a girl in New Orleans
You had a girl in New Orleans
You had a girl in new Orleans
You had a girl in New Orleans
I watch you go,
Texas sun is rising so slow
So slow
I met you in May, we didn't get on right away
You took my hand just once to say
We can't forget the way, it feels when spring gives way to summer, to summer
If I could feel what I felt then I'd gladly do it over again
You broke my heart so slow
I hated to see you, hated to see you go
But you had a girl in New Orleans
You had a girl in New Orleans
You had a girl in New Orleans
