[Verse 1]
The mountain's so high and a valley's so low
Oh, Louisiana
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Suzanna
I'm bound over the mountain

[Verse 2]
The mountain's so high and a valley's so low
Oh, Louisiana
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Suzanna
I'm bound over the mountain

[Verse 3]
The girls that we're leaving we'll never forget
Oh, Louisiana
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Suzanna
I'm bound over the mountain

[Verse 4]
Oh, soon we'll be rolling her over the bay
Oh, Louisiana
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Suzanna
I'm bound over the ocean

[Break]
I keep saying "ocean" but that's not the way the song was
Don't ask me why a sailor's song says he's bound over the mountain
Just think it
[Verse 5]
Goodbye to Sally and goodbye to Sue
Oh, Louisiana
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Suzanna
I'm bound over thе mountain

[Verse 6]
You that are listening, goodbye to you
Oh, Louisiana
Louisiana my darling, my Janе and Suzanna
I'm bound over the mountain
