From the recording Memphis By Midnight
Lyrics
Sweet September night near Lake Ponchartrain
So much on my mind that I can't explain
Well, I'm saving it up, gonna see you soon
If I can find the time New Orleans moon
Be waiting for the time New Orleans moon
From the Vieux Carre to these ten cent dreams
I've been hanging on down in New Orleans
And I wear it thin in the afternoon, save myself for night
New Orleans moon
Waiting for the night New Orleans moon
Hear the jukebox croon old Ray Charles songs
Sweet magnolia breeze almost hums along
I might leave here between tonight and June
If I can find the time New Orleans moon
Be waiting for the time New Orleans moon
