Joe Purdy - Louisiana Lyrics

Joe Purdy Lyrics

"Louisiana"

Swing from the trees Louisiana
Swing from the trees in Louisiana
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know

Mind to the word of your mama
Mind to the words of your mama
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know

Don't worry about the boys till you get older
Don't worry about the boys till you get older
Then you take it slow
Take it slow
You take it slow

Cause you've been walking in the woods all day

I'll build the clouds into houses
He said, I'll build the clouds into houses
You can tear 'em down
You can tear 'em down
You can tear 'em down

He's just a boy from the bayou
He's just a boy from the bayou
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know

You've been walking in the woods all day

He ain't got a heart in Louisiana
He ain't got a heart in Louisiana
Well he's got mimne mama
He's got mine
Well he's got mine mama
He's got mine

You don't know the way to California
You don't know the way to California
We got time mama
We got time
We got time mama

Cause we've been walking in the woods all day

We'll hold up in Amarillo
Maybe we'll hold up in Amarillo
Or New Mexico
Or New Mexico

Swing from the trees Louisiana
Swing from the trees Louisiana
Swing from the trees in Louisiana
Swing from the trees in Louisiana
