"Down In Louisiana" lyrics

"Down In Louisiana"

Have you ever been down to New Orleans?
Or hitched a ride on the Delta Queen?
There ain't nothing like you never seen
Down in Louisiana

Have you ever been there on a Friday night
Down in the quarter when the moon was bright?
It's an altogether different kind of life
Down in Louisiana

Where the bayou runs by the side of the road
And sugarcane and cotton grows
And every other name is Thibodeaux
Down in Louisiana

Have you ever heard a Cajun fiddle play?
And danced 'til you've danced all your cares away?
It's always a holiday
Down in Louisiana

Where the bayou runs by the side of the road
Sugarcane and cotton grows
And every other name is Thibodeaux
Down in Louisiana

If you ever find the time and the money to
Come on down, I'll be lookin' for you
And I'll teach you how to parlez-vous
Down in Louisiana

Where the bayou runs by the side of the road
Sugarcane and cotton grows
Every other name is Thibodeaux
Down in Louisiana

Where the bayou runs by the side of the road
And sugarcane and cotton grows
Every other name is Thibodeaux
Down in Louisiana

Where the bayou runs by the side of the road
And sugarcane and cotton grows
Every other name is Thibodeaux
Down in Louisiana

Where the bayou runs by the side of the road, Lord
