Hey Joe take my hand
Let's go down to Louisiana and smell the sweet magnolias in the Spring
Creole babies nice and sweet, dancing to the bayou beat
When they do the Louisiana Swing

Now bayou babies running wild, stealing kisses all the while
The love bug bites everyone in Spring
Glow worms glowin' in the dark, couples neckin' in the park
When they do the Louisiana Swing

Ah, Billy Woods from Bakersfield, yeah

[Piano Solo]

Oh, Buck Owens, let's hear from ya

[Guitar Solo]

In Big Mamou, Louisiana they play a broken down piano
The people always gather around to sing
Now making eyes and holding hands
She's my woman, I'm her man
When we do the Louisiana Swing

Now one more drink of cherry wine and then we'll start a congo line
Hold on to that pretty little thing
I'll ask her "Can I take her home"
And then I'll have her for my own
When we do that Louisiana Swing
Oh, Oscar [?], fiddle boy!

[Fiddle Solo]

Now hey Joe take my hand
Let's go down to Louisiana and smell the sweet magnolias in the Spring
Creole babies nice and sweet, dancing to the bayou beat
When they do the Louisiana Swing

Now bayou babies running wild, stealing kisses all the while
The love bug bites everyone in Spring
Glow worms glowin' in the dark, couples neckin' in the park
When they do the Louisiana Swing
