Walking to New Orleans is a 1960 song, written for Fats Domino by Bobby Charles. The story goes that when Fats Domino stopped on tour in Lafayette, Louisiana, he invited Bobby Charles backstage, but as Fats didn't have a copy of his new record to give to Charles, he invited Charles to come visit him in his home in New Orleans. Charles replied, "I don't have a car. If I'd go, I'd have to walk." Afterwards, the thought remained on Charles's mind, and he’s said to have written the song for Fats in some 15 minutes.
