Louisiana Gal

(by K. Brown)

They say the blues come all the way
down the mighty Mississippi
where the muddy waters flow
And make their way
to the tip of Louisiana
to the Gulf of Mexico
The Delta is the place
they stir it in the gumbo
when you hear those brass horns blow
And we could do some kissin'
and some cookin' in your kitchen
Gal when you gonna come back home?

You been away so long
noone hardly knows your missin'
and your just like some sweet old song
Then all a sudden sister
you blow in like a twister
and everything turned upside down
Just like a force of nature
sweep the mess up later
and Katie bar the door
But your what this place been missin'
And we could do some kissin'
Gal when you gonna come back home

Nothing could be finer
than the girls from Carolina
when they show the boys the door
And nothin' could be sweeter
than to kiss a Georgia peach
leave you comin' back fo' more
And the girls up in the mitten
well they sure can do some knitten
cuddle up and keep you warm
But that Louisiana gal
puts the hot sauce in the gumbo
when she boils the pot back home

Next time you go missin'
Don't expect that I'll be wishin'
to come at your beck and call
But no matter what I do
you just like Marie Laveux
and I'm like some puppy dog
Don't know what you been a-hoodoo
with that special kind of voodoo
only you can do so well
Just a Louisiana gal
give a ragin' Cajun yell
and stir the old folks up back home

Just a ragin' Cajun missus
and we could do some kissin'
gal when you gonna come back home
