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
I's, a little child, just a-runnin' wild
Louisiana, Louisiana, my home
