Give me one for the highway, Give me two for the road, Give me Three for my baby, That someone else done stole. Since my baby been gone, I just can't go on, I'm leaving here today, Ain't no use to stay. Bridge: If anything happens to me, No matter how strange it'll be, Just make sure that I'm seen, In my hometown, New Orleans. Chorus: Bye, baby, bye bye, I said, bye bye, baby, goodbye, It hurts I understand, That you got a fine, ol' man Bridge: If anything happens to me, So strange it could be, Just make sure that I'm seen, In my hometown, New Orleans. Chorus: I said bye bye, baby, bye, Oh, bye bye, baby, bye. You know it hurts I understand, That you lost a real fine man.
