Song information

Artist: Radney Foster
Album: Del Rio, Texas, 1959

Lyrics

This pain --- is deeper than the ponchartrain
Now that I'm alone again after losing you
I'm going down to basin street
Where the broken dreamers meet
Where my broken heart can beat louisi-ana blue

Chorus:
(Where) those muddy bayous run just as black as coca cola
Ain't no other place I can be bluer that I know of
Gonna pack my bags turn up my collar put on my travelin' shoes
Go down to new orleans and turn louisi-ana blue

You should see this heart that you re-turned to me
Now it only yearns to be on the next train through
I just want to disappear heading south a-way from here
Running 'til I turn my tears louisi-ana blue

Repeat chorus

Instrumental break:
I'm gonna pack my bags turn up my collar put on my travelin' shoes
Go down to new orleans and turn louisi-ana blue
I'm gonna raise the mississippi river crying over you
Go down to new orleans and turn louisi-ana blue
