Louisiana, I love you
for all you’ve given to me
I promise never forget you
as I travel o’ve the stormy sea
There’s no one more beautiful to me
green pastures and blue skies and all
I’ll travel the whole wide world over
and sing of your beauty and love
I'll never roam too far away
and at the close of the day
remember me please… oh pray for me
when I’m three thousand miles away
Louisiana, I love you
for keeping me so long
I promise never forget you
and I promise to someday come home
…and I promise to someday come home
…and I promise to someday come home.
