Down in Louisiana Louisiana Land of Creole Sues
Patois Mardi Gras and romantic blues
Once I hard a lover when work was over strum a Creole croone
To his wherein lovey dovey underneath a Dixie Moon I heard her say
Chantez les bas that means in Creole sing 'em low Yeah
Chantez les bas She liked her blues played sweetly and slow yeah
Chantez les bas I can't forget that serenade and if you listen to me
Just a while I'll try to sing for you what they say Oh in the mornin' baby
jes' fore day in the mornin'
jes' fore day in the mornin'
jes' fore day and New Orleans hey hey Oh in the mornin' baby
jes' fore day in the mornin'
jes' fore day in the mornin'
jes' fore day I'll come to get you and take you away far far away
