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