[Chorus] I'm going down Louisiana way I'm going back as of this very day Don't worry about me cause I'll be okay I'm going down Louisiana way [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 2] Don't let your eyes get misty now We knew the time would come around for me to go I will miss you So long friend, guess I'll see you while ago I might be back sometime, you just never know I have left a sweetheart north of Whiskey Bay True love waits down Louisiana way
