My heart is heavy to see a levee
A field of cane and corn
I've not forgotten my land of cotton
Down where I was born
I'm through knocking around
`Cause I'm Dixie bound

Louisiana, Louisiana
I've been sad, mighty sad
Louisiana, Louisiana
Now I'm glad, so 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 declare
No skies are bluer
No friends are truer
Anywhere, anywhere
Take me to your heart
Give me one more start
I'm the little child
Just been runnin' wild
Louisiana, Louisiana my own

Louisiana, Louisiana
I've been sad, very sad
Louisiana, Louisiana
Now I'm glad, you wanna know `cause why, well listen
The whistle's blowin'
The train is goin'
And here I come, here I come
I'm so tired of roamin'
That's why I'm homin'
Takin' the midnight choo-choo train
Won't be long till I'm back again
Louisiana, no place is grander
I declare, I declare
No skies are bluer
No friends are truer
Anywhere, anywhere

Louisiana, Louisiana my own
