[Verse 1]
Well our love was amazing
But your Daddy went crazy
When he found out the news
She was runnin' with me
I can't say that I blame him
Cause a boy raised in Blain
Ain't got good intentions from what he could see

[Verse 2]
With a hand full of shells
And a head full of heat
He was headin' my way
When you called to tell me
There wasn't much I could do
I had to get out of town
I didn't take me no clothes
I just loaded my hound

[Chorus]
And I'm going to Louisiana
I'll be back soon to fetch ya
When your schooling is over
And the summer draws nigh
And I'm hoping, I'm praying
That you will be waitin'
For me to take you away
And to make you my bride
[Verse 3]
Well thе women they came
And thе women they went
The money was earned
And the money was spent
I was down in the bayous
Just tryin' to find peace
But this fire that we'd started
Kept workin on me

[Chorus]
So I'm going to Louisiana
I'll be back soon to fetch ya
When your schooling is over
And the summer draws nigh
And I'm hoping, I'm praying
You will be waitin'
For me to take you away
And to make you my bride
