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
