Louisiana morning at the break of day
Well, a Louisiana morning at the break of day
He pulled into town in a red Chevrolet

He come from New Orleans and his eyes are blue
Oh, he come from New Orleans and his eyes are blue
Said he?s looking for a girl named Penny LaRue

In his back pocket, got a picture of her
Oh, in his back pocket he's got a picture of her
In a red cotton dress and a coat made of fur

Now my Momma she told me, says, this man?s not for you
Well, my Momma she told me, says, this man?s not for you
He?s in love with a bad girl named Penny LaRue
Verse 5
Well, it?s clear she don?t love him, but he ain?t got a clue
Oh, it?s clear she don?t love him, but he ain?t got no clue
Oh, he?ll trade this whole world for Penny LaRue

Can?t sing a sad song like she used to do
Oh, no one compares to Penny LaRue
Miss Penny LaRue
