Oh Louisiana

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

O~ 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

Oo~, 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

Ooo~ Louisiana..

Oh, 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

Oo, Louisiana
