Louisiana Rain
Ha ha ha ha
As they sailed out to
One, two, three
Well, it was out in California
By the San Diego sea
That was when I was taken in
And it left its mark on me
Yeah, she nearly drove me crazy
With all those China toys
And I know she really didn't mean a thing
To any of those sailor boys
Louisiana rain
Is falling at my feet
Baby, I'm noticing the change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain
Is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge
South Carolina
Put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black
Somewhere on Lonely Street
And I still can't quite remember
Who helped me to my feet
Thank God for a long-neck bottle
The angel's remedy
Louisiana rain
Is falling just like tears
Running down my face
Washing out the years
Louisiana rain
Is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge
Well I never will get over
This English refugee
Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery
Yeah he was eating pills like candy
And chasing them with tea
You should have seen him lick his lips
At old black Molly B
Louisiana rain
Is falling at my feet
Baby, I'm noticing the change
As I move down the street
Louisiana rain
Is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge
Louisiana rain
Now, it's falling just like tears
Running down my face
Washing out the years
Louisiana rain
Is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same
When I reach Baton Rouge
