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
