I am goin' down Louisiana way
I'm goin' back as of this very day
Don't worry about me, 'cause I'll be okay
I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I will miss all my old Chicago friends
And think about you, San Francisco now and then
I will remember, my compadres in L.A.
Look me up, down Louisiana way
I am goin' down Louisiana way
I'm goin' back as of this very day
Don't worry about me, 'cause I'll be okay
I'm goin' down Louisiana way
Don't let your eyes get misty now
We knew the time would come around
For me to go
And I will miss you
So long friend, yes I'll see you while I go
I might be back, sometime you just never know
I have left a sweetheart, North of Whiskey Bay
True love waits down the Louisiana way
I am goin' down Louisiana way
I'm goin' back as of this very day
Don't worry about me, 'cause I'll be okay
I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I am goin' down Louisiana way
I'm goin' back as of this very day
Don't worry about me, 'cause I'll be okay
I'm goin' down Louisiana way
I'm goin' down Louisiana way
