[Chorus:] I’m goin’ down Louisiana way I’m going back as of this very day Don’t worry about me cause I’ll be okay 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
[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, quess 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
