Louisiana Blues Lyrics - Hancock Wayne

(This is in G, this is a . . . walkin' slappin' daddy, slap it . . . 1, 2, . 1,2,3,4) 

(Refrain)--------------- 

When you get to Louisiana 

Would you tell her to hello for me 

'Cause she sure can cook 

And the bayou sets my poor heart free 

Well they goin' down to Houston 

Then they play in Louisiana, lordy oh 

I wish I with'em, wish I lucky-ana 

When you get to Louisiana 

Would you tell her to hello for me 

--------------------- 

Well it's cloudin' up out yonder, 

Looks like it's goin' to fry 

And I bet you oh, my thunder know, 

Just how I feel inside 

And when you get to Louisiana 

Would you tell her to hello for me 

Yeah, fer miles to roll 

There's honky-tonks as far as I can see 

Miller time! 

[Interlude] 

(Yeah, Louisiana blues) 

If yer goin' in the country 

Please save your memories 

I gotta stay here in the city now 

I'm a lonesome as I can be 

Well outside the wind a blowin' 

And it's really gonna pull board 

And I'm sittin' in the kitchen 

While my teardrops hit the floor 

When you get to Louisiana 

Would you tell her to hello for me 

[2nd Interlude] 

(repeat refrain) 

When you get to Louisiana 

Would you tell her to hello for me 

Yodal-lay-eh, low down Louisiana blues
