Mama Louisiana

The wink in a Cajuns Eye a cast iron pot full of jambalaya
The whistle of the Delta Queen sugar cane young and green
The bayou water moves so slow like the people there, there's no rush, no
Mardi Gras Indians, Dixie Beer, sugar mills and a Fais Do Do
Mama Louisianna is calling me home
Mama Louisianna is calling me home

Highway 1 to Thibodaux, the Sunshine Bridge, spicy gumbo
Sitting in the Quarter sipping Hurricanes avoiding the flash floods and summer rains
Edwin Edwards, Huey Long, Jimmy Swaggart, and drinking songs
Louisiana's children come and go but the mighty Mississippi just flows
Mama Louisianna is calling me home
Mama Louisianna is calling me home

I can't wait to get back home to my family
What matters now are the people in my heart
I dream of a southern rain and my mama's laughter
I been gone too long, it's tearing me apart

Mama Louisianna is calling me home
Mama Louisianna is calling me home
Mama Louisianna is calling me home
Mama Louisianna is calling me home
Mama Louisianna is calling me home
Mama Louisianna is calling me home
