This pain
Is deeper than the Pontchartrain
Now that I?m alone again
After losing you
I?m going down to Basin Street
Where the broken dreamers meet
Where my broken heart can beat
Louisiana Blue.
Those muddy bayous run just as black at Coca-Cola
Ain?t no place I can be bluer, that I now of
I?m gonna pack my bags, turn up my collar
Put on my travelin? shoes
You should see
This heart that you returned to me
Now it only yearns to be
On the next train through
I just want to disappear
Headin? South away from here
Runnin? till I turn my tears
Louisiana Blue.
I?m gonna pack my bags, turn up my collar
Put on my travelin? shoes
I?m gonna raise the Misssissippi River, cryin? over you
