Louisiana Mama

Gene Pitney

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
