Cindy Of New Orleans Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Waylon Jennings) 

Down by the river where the big boats go by 

Each day you could see them as evening was nigh 

They planned to be married at the first sign of spring 

And Jim would take Cindy to see New Orleans. 

The town folks would smile as they sat there alone 

Jim talked of the day he'd make Cindy his own 

He saved his money to buy her a ring 

And take his sweet Cindy to see New Orleans. 

--- Instrumental --- 

One day a riverboat gambler chanced by 

And captured her heart with his sweet words and lies 

He told her come with me and you'll be a queen 

So they left together to see New Orleans.

Each day you can see Jim though years have gone by 

Down by the river where the big boats go by 

She wrote she'd return at the first sign of spring 

He's waiting for Cindy to see New Orleans...
