Mikaela - NOLA Greetings

I went down south to New Orleans
To get myself some good Red Beans

The lady was friendly and told me to come on in
In her sweet old accent I was told “Come in so we can let the good times roll”

I was treated swell even when I walked down the streets
Even people I didn’t know treated me well and gave me treats

I will never forget New Orleans
The home of the sweetest people in the world

Mikaela, age 15
