It's called the New Orleans Tango
I said as she looked around
But we don't need any dance floor
All we need is the ground
She put her hand inside my hand
She followed me by my feet
It was just her and I know
And the rhythm of the street
Then I looked into her eyes
As we listened to the beat
I could feel her body rise
In the cool New Orleans heat
And as that Creole music cried
To the river and the sea
We danced until the music died
Breathless next to me
It's called the New Orleans Tango
She said as I looked around
I picked her up as she followed
Through the bayou back to town
Then I looked into her eyes
As we listened to the beat
The black Louisiana skies
Shined their light on Bourbon Street
And as that Creole music cried
To the river and the sea
We danced until the music died
Breathless next to me
