I wanna die I wanna die Down south Louisiana And the gray evening sky I wanna die I don’t care how I’m getting out Down south Louisiana And the lonesome highway sound Well there’s a cajun lady Down in New Orleans There’s a cajun lady And I saw her in my dream Well if I’d held her in my arms girls Oh and if I’d held her in my arms Our friendly love Might have kept my heart from harm But I’m out here on this road girls And I’m out here on the road And I’m just a poor girl And I ain’t got a home And I wanna die I don’t care how I’m getting out Down south Louisiana And the lonesome highway sound Oh I ain’t got a home girls And I ain’t got a home And it’s through this world I ramble And it’s through this world I roam Well it’s through this world I ramble And as through this world I roam I’m just a poor girl And I ain’t got a home And I wanna die I wanna die Down south Louisiana And the gray evening sky Well I wanna die I don’t care how I’m getting out Down south Louisiana And the lonesome highway sound
