Louisiana

~I’m from the Great State Of California

but twenty-nine years now lived in Louisiana~

~This state has bore me children of seven

all gifts from God in Heaven~

~Being a native from my Home State

~I never dreamed Louisiana would be my fate~

~But I’ve learned to love her as if she’s mine

and my kids all here turned out fine~

~There’s no better food in all the land

the way to the heart of every man~

~The coffee is famous beyond compare

none better can be found anywhere~

~Mardi Gras’ something for all to behold

there’s always a good story to be told~

~The people are the friendliest in all the world

there’s none more beautiful than a Louisiana girl~

~ Louisiana’s a good life if you want it to be

it hasn’t been too bad for me~
