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 |
