Louisiana Louisiana

I've been sad mighty sad

Louisiana Louisiana

Now I'm glad boy I'm glad

The whistle's blowin' the train is goin'

Here I come here I come

I'm tired of roamin' that's why I'm homin'

Back to happiness and then some

Louisiana no place is grander

I declare I do do declare

No skies are bluer no friends are truer

Anywhere anywhere

Take me to your heart give me one more start

It's a little child just a-runnin' wild

Louisiana Louisiana my home
