Cindy Of New Orleans
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
[ ac.guitar ]
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
Cindy de Nueva Orleans
Junto al río donde pasan los grandes barcos
Cada día los podías ver al caer la tarde
Planeaban casarse al primer indicio de primavera
Y Jim llevaría a Cindy a ver Nueva Orleans
Los lugareños sonreían mientras estaban solos
Jim hablaba del día en que haría de Cindy suya
Ahorraba dinero para comprarle un anillo y llevar a su dulce Cindy a ver Nueva Orleans
[ guitarra acústica ]
Un día pasó por allí un jugador de barcos de vapor
Y capturó su corazón con sus dulces palabras y mentiras
Le dijo: ven conmigo y serás una reina
Así que se fueron juntos a ver Nueva Orleans
Cada día puedes ver a Jim aunque hayan pasado los años
Junto al río donde pasan los grandes barcos
Ella escribió que regresaría al primer indicio de primavera
Él está esperando a Cindy para ver Nueva Orleans
