I'm goin' down Louisiana way

I was born down Louisiana way

I'm goin 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 miss all my old Chicago friends

And think about you San Francisco now and then

I will remember my compadres in L.A.

Look me up down Louisiana way

I'm goin' down Louisiana way

I was born down Louisiana way

I'm goin 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

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 my friend, guess I'll see you while ago

I might be back sometime, you just never know

I have left a sweet heart north of Whiskey Bay

True love waits down Louisiana way

I'm goin' down Louisiana way

I was born down Louisiana way

I'm goin 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
