Chuck Berry - 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
