Jackie - Down in New Orleans...

“Down in New Orleans” in the deep, deep south

where those say yall

with the deep thick Cajun accent

is only stereotype of southerners.

It is the yall that we do say .

Down in New Orleans

We are in the streets

Watching the magical floats strolling down

The streets in New Orleans.

Even if it may rain,

Down in New Orleans,

We find the way to party in any type of situation.

Jackie, age 16
