Oh, Louisiana, I stayed away from you too long
|
Oh, Louisiana, how can a true love go so wrong ?
|
She put me in shame and in sorrow and I come home tomorrow
|
Oh, Louisiana
|
|
Oh, Louisiana, yea, yea, Creole baby, Cajun queens
|
Quaint porches and windows, filet de gumbo, the Basin beans
|
Your beautiful Delta and bayous in greens
|
Oh, Louisiana
|
|
Oh, Louisiana, yea-e-e, yea, I'm flyin' on Delta Nine-o-three
|
Right over St. Louis, high over Memphis, Tennessee
|
On southward to the sea, where I long to be
|
Oh, Louisiana
|
|
Oh, o, Louisiana, yea, yea, them Yankee nights are cold and long
|
Oh, Louisiana, she broke my heart and wrecked my home
|
She shamed me in sorrow, to face my tomorrow
|
Oh, take me back, oh, Louisiana
|
