I wanna die I wanna die Down south Louisiana And the gray evening sky
I wanna die I don't care how I'm getting out Down south Louisiana And the lonesome highway sound
Well there's a cajun lady Down in New Orleans There's a cajun lady And I saw her in my dream
Well if I'd held her in my arms, girls Oh and if I'd held her in my arms Our friendly love Might have kept my heart from harm But I'm out here on this road, girls And I'm out here on the road And I'm just a poor girl And I ain't got a home
And I wanna die I don't care how I'm getting out Down south Louisiana And the lonesome highway sound
Oh I ain't got a home, girls And I ain't got a home And it's through this world I ramble And it's through this world I roam
Well, as through this world I ramble And as through this world I roam I'm just a poor girl And I ain't got a home
And I wanna die I wanna die Down south Louisiana And the gray evening sky
Well I wanna die I don't care how I'm getting out Down south Louisiana And the lonesome highway sound
