Chorus:

I'm goin' down Louisiana way

I was born down Louisiana way

I'm going back as of this very day

Don't worry about me 'cause I'll be okay

I was born down Louisiana way

I'm goin' down Louisiana way



I will lmiss all my old Chicago friends

And think about you San Fransicao now and then

I will remember my compadres in L.A.

Look me up down Louisiana way



Repeat Chorus



Don't let your eyes get misty now

We knew the time would come around for me to go

I will miss you



So long friend, I'll see you while ago

I might be back sometime, you just never know

I have left a sweetheart north of Whiskey Bay

True love waits down Louisiana way
