In the old French Quarter in New Orleans

In my dreams I walk once more with my darling

In the jazzmen sentient nights

Neath the misty old lamplights

When I left she held me tight and told me

Not to stay away too long because she loved me

And the silent teardrops fell

As we kissed and said farewell

But summer turned to winter

And when springtime came

I returned and learned

That things were not the same
