Down in Louisiana, Louisiana - Land of Creole Sues
Patois, Mardi Gras and romantic blues
Once I hard a lover, when work was over strum a Creole croone

To his wherein lovey dovey underneath a Dixie Moon. I heard her say

Chantez-les bas, that means in Creole - sing ´em low. Yeah
Chantez-les bas. She liked her blues played sweetly and slow, yeah
Chantez-les bas. I can´t forget that serenade, and if you listen to me
Just a while, I´ll try to sing for you what they say: Oh in the mornin´ baby

Jes´ fore day, in the mornin´
Jes´ fore day, in the mornin´
Jes´ fore day, and New Orleans, hey, hey! Oh in the mornin´ baby

Jes´ fore day, in the mornin´

Jes´ fore day, in the mornin´
Jes´ fore day, I´ll come to get you and take you away, far, far away
