Lou'siana, Lou'siana
Mama's got the low down blues
Lou'siana, Lou'siana
Mama's going on a cruise
Tonight when I start walkin'
Although the road is hard
I'm gonna keep on walkin'
Till I get in my own backyard
Mississippi river
Mississippi river, I know is deep and wide
Mississippi river, I know is deep and wide
Won't be satisfied till I get on the other side
Goin' to keep on trampin'
Gonna keep on trampin' till I get on solid ground
Gonna keep on trampin' till I get on solid ground
On my way to Dixie, Lord, I'm Lou'siana bound
Got a loaded feelin'
A loaded feelin' I can't lose my heavy load
Got a loaded feelin' I can't lose my heavy load
My home ain't up north, it's further down the road
