Gene Pitney - Louisiana mama

She's my red hot Louisiana mama
From a town called New Orleans
Golden hair and eyes of blue
My real live Dixie queen
My Louisiana mama from New Orleans

She lives down on the bayou
When she's really wild as can be
My heart longs to be there
So that once again I can see
My Louisiana mama from New Orleans

I met her at the Mardi Gras
On a warm and bright sunny day
I had to leave her standing there
But I'm going back to stay So if you ever go down the south my friend


To see what you can find
Remember when you get there
She's mine all mine all mine
My Louisiana mama from New Orleans

She lives down on the bayou
When she's really wild as can be
My heart longs to be there
So that once again I can see
My Louisiana mama from New Orleans

I met her at the Mardi Gras
On a warm and bright sunny day
I had to leave her standing there
But I'm going back to stay

So if you ever go down the south my friend
To see what you can find
Remember when you get there
She's mine all mine all mine
My Louisiana mama from New Orleans
