Goodbye ev'rybody,
I'm on my way to Louisville,
I feel, oh, so happy,
I hardly can keep still.
Although my home is very small.
I invite you all,
if you will come,
you'll be welcome any time you call.

Don't forget, don't forget,
when you're down in Louisville,
Louisville, Louisville,
Just call around;
I'll be found in the town directory.
I'll have the table set,
no fancy dishes,
but the things you get
will all be delicious,
and you're just as welcome as can be.
When you get there,
take a Jitney bus, call on us
I'll have you see the family,
if you're ever so lucky
to be down in Kentucky,
don't forget to stop at Louie,
Louie, Louisville, and call on me.

Don't forget, don't forget,
when you're down in Louisville,
Louisville, Louisville,
Just call around;
I'll be found in the town directory.
I'll have the table set,
no fancy dishes,
but the things you get
will all be delicious,
and you're just as welcome as can be.
When you get there,
take a Jitney bus, call on us
I'll have you see the family,
if you're ever so lucky
to be down in Kentucky,
don't forget to stop at Louie,
Louie, Louisville, and call on me.

Listen ev'rybody,
we've got the fairest women there.
Lovely dispositions
and locks of golden hair.
They've got complexions like the rose,
ev'rybody knows;
Nature made them, we parade them,
dressed in simple clothes.

Don't forget, don't forget,
when you're down in Louisville,
Louisville, Louisville,
Just call around;
I'll be found in the town directory.
I'll have the table set,
no fancy dishes,
but the things you get
will all be delicious,
and you're just as welcome as can be.
When you get there,
take a Jitney bus, call on us
I'll have you see the family,
if you're ever so lucky
to be down in Kentucky,
don't forget to stop at Louie,
Louie, Louisville, and call on me.

Don't forget, don't forget,
when you're down in Louisville,
Louisville, Louisville,
Just call around;
I'll be found in the town directory.
I'll have the table set,
no fancy dishes,
but the things you get
will all be delicious,
and you're just as welcome as can be.
When you get there,
take a Jitney bus, call on us
I'll have you see the family,
if you're ever so lucky
to be down in Kentucky,
don't forget to stop at Louie,
Louie, Louisville, and call on me.
