This Pain --- Is Deeper Than The Ponchartrain
Now That I'm Alone Again After Losing You
I'm Going Down To Basin Street
Where The Broken Dreamers Meet
Where My Broken Heart Can Beat Louisi-ana Blue
Chorus:
(Where) Those Muddy Bayous Run Just As Black As Coca Cola
Ain't No Other Place I Can Be Bluer That I Know Of
Gonna Pack My Bags Turn Up My Collar Put On My Travelin' Shoes
Go Down To New Orleans And Turn Louisi-ana Blue
You Should See This Heart That You Re-turned To Me
Now It Only Yearns To Be On The Next Train Through
I Just Want To Disappear Heading South A-way From Here
Running 'Til I Turn My Tears Louisi-ana Blue
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental Break:
I'm Gonna Pack My Bags Turn Up My Collar Put On My Travelin' Shoes
Go Down To New Orleans And Turn Louisi-ana Blue
I'm Gonna Raise The Mississippi River Crying Over You
Go Down To New Orleans And Turn Louisi-ana Blue
