Lyrics
I met a girl down in New Orleans
A blue-eyed version of a Cajun queen
How she found me was a mystery
But I remember what she did to me
Warm days in the bayou heat
And wild nights down on Bourbon Street
She taught me everything that a boy should know
She made me love her then she let me go
Louisiana's calling my name
She's in my dreams driving me insane
All the lies that we told, the love that we made
Louisiana is calling my name
The dance of seven veils at the Mardi Gras
One by one she let the veils fall
Love beads fly through the air
Confetti drifting falling in her hair
All the days on the delta sand
She threw a spell and said I was her man
She made a man out of a lanky kid
I'm going back again
I jumped the first southbound I saw
New Orleans wants me I can hear her call
I'm gonna get there if I have to crawl
I find my woman gonna love her, love her, love her all night long
