Louisian' 1922

Down where the sugar cane's growing
close by that old cabin door,
there, where southern skies always smile,
there I long to be all the while,
Soon to my Southland I'm going,
back to the sweet days of yore,
Hear me, Dixie,
calling once more,
Oh,

Louisian' Louisian'
just try and keep me out of Dixie
if you can,
I'd give all I own
just to be back home
Louisian' Louisian'
I've been away enough
for you to understand
why my heart's entwined,
with Mason Dixon's Line.
I've got a sweetie down that way,
sweet as sugar, say
I'd walk night and day
to reach the best little nest
in the U.S.A.
Louisian' Louisian'
You've got the kiss I miss
that's why I sigh,
I cry Here's my han' Louisian'

Louisian' Louisian'
just try and keep me out of Dixie
if you can,
I'd give all I own
just to be back home
Louisian' Louisian'
I've been away enough
for you to understand
why my heart's entwined,
with Mason Dixon's Line.
I've got a sweetie down that way,
sweet as sugar, say
I'd walk night and day
to reach the best little nest
in the U.S.A.
Louisian' Louisian'
You've got the kiss I miss
that's why I sigh,
I cry Here's my han' Louisian'

Talk all you want of your city
say what you like of its ways,
just give me the land of my birth,
There I'll find my heaven on earth,
Some day when you're down in Dixie,
Stop off at old Sugar Way,
I know you'll know
just why I say,
Oh,

Louisian' Louisian'
just try and keep me out of Dixie
if you can,
I'd give all I own
just to be back home
Louisian' Louisian'
I've been away enough
for you to understand
why my heart's entwined,
with Mason Dixon's Line.
I've got a sweetie down that way,
sweet as sugar, say
I'd walk night and day
to reach the best little nest
in the U.S.A.
Louisian' Louisian'
You've got the kiss I miss
that's why I sigh,
I cry Here's my han' Louisian'

Louisian' Louisian'
just try and keep me out of Dixie
if you can,
I'd give all I own
just to be back home
Louisian' Louisian'
I've been away enough
for you to understand
why my heart's entwined,
with Mason Dixon's Line.
I've got a sweetie down that way,
sweet as sugar, say
I'd walk night and day
to reach the best little nest
in the U.S.A.
Louisian' Louisian'
You've got the kiss I miss
that's why I sigh,
I cry Here's my han' Louisian'
