lLou'siana Low Down Blues (07-22-24) - Bessie Smith

Lou’siana, Lou’siana

Mama’s got the low down blues

Lou’siana, Lou’siana

Mama’s going on a cruise

Tonight when I start walkin'

Although the road is hard

I’m gonna keep on walkin'

Till I get in my own backyard

Mississippi river

Mississippi river, I know is deep and wide

Mississippi river, I know is deep and wide

Won’t be satisfied till I get on the other side

Goin' to keep on trampin'

Gonna keep on trampin' till I get on solid ground

Gonna keep on trampin' till I get on solid ground

On my way to Dixie, Lord, I’m Lou’siana bound

Got a loaded feelin'

A loaded feelin' I can’t lose my heavy load

Got a loaded feelin' I can’t lose my heavy load

My home ain’t up north, it’s further down the road
