Sweet magnolias in my hair Carriage rides through Jackson Square Sitting in the evening air with my baby Coffee and beignets for two I'll spend my whole life loving you Rent a house on the avenue of magazine You called me sweetheart There on the street car True love was blooming By the house where I grew up My heart's a second line Cuz I let you in to see That New Orleans piece of me Hear the jazz on Frenchman St Watch the people dance and eat No where else I'd rather be than here with you See the history in the walls Haunted yet so beautiful Penny less yet rich and full is my home You called me sweetheart There on the street car True love was blooming By the house where I grew up My heart's a second line Cuz I let you in to see That new orleans piece of me You called me sweetheart There on the street car True love is blooming By the house where I grew up My heart's a second line Cuz I let you in to see That New Orleans piece of me
