Louisiana Melody – David Ball

Thibodaux Louisiana
That’s my kind of town
There I met a little dark eyed girl
That turned my whole world around
She could move to a fiddle groove
In a way I can’t forget
She took a whole of my Tennessee heart
Ain’t made let go of it yet

I hear her calling me
Louisiana Melody
As the old folks say:
You’re heart’s gonna brake your back some day

Twin fiddles and a steel guitar
Bright lights are shining
I knew as I walked inside
I was headin’ for a really good time
The band played Moncton Rule
Everybody was on their feet
When she took my hand and away we went

I hear her calling me
Louisiana Melody
As the old folks say:
You’re heart’s gonna brake your back some day

Underneath the old oak tree
On hood of my Chevelle
As we shared a kiss or two I swear I heard the chapel bell
Well, I’d better be on my way
I’ve got a long way to ride
Knowing then what I know right now
I should have stayed right by her side

I hear her calling me
Louisiana Melody
As the old folks say:
You’re heart’s gonna brake your back some day
