Lyrics
i boarded up the windows
every single one
there ain't a soul in louisiana
gonna miss me when i'm gone
there's a hurricane a'coming
the trees are bending low
there ain't a soul in louisiana
gonna miss me when i go
guess i'll hit the road for dallas
apply to any job i see
or i'll just die here in the bayou
guess it's all the same to me
there's a hurricane a'coming
the trees are bending low
there ain't a soul in louisiana
gonna miss me when i go
well i went to mass on sunday
children prayed and father preached
he said "now, jesus was a wanderer,
a man of sorrows and of grief"
but there's a hurricane a'coming
my head is hanging low
there ain't a soul in louisiana
o lord take me home
there's a hurricane a'coming
the trees are bending low
there ain't a soul in louisiana
gonna miss me when i go
