Where those (F)muddy bayous run just as (C)black as Coca Cola
(D) Ain't no other place I can be (G)bluer that I know of
Gonna (C)pack my bags, turn up my collar, put (F)on my (Em)travelin' (Dm)shoes
(G)Go down to New Orleans and turn (F) Louisi-(G)ana (C)blue

(C)You should see this (F)heart that you re-(C)turned to me
(F)Now it only (C) yearns to be on the next train (G) through
I just want to (C)disappear heading south a-(F)way from here
Running 'til I (C)turn my tears (G) Louisiana (C)blue
