Oh Louisiana Lyrics

Oh Louisiana lyrics

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
