Louisiana Songs

Louisiana

Give Me Louisiana

Give me Louisiana,
The State where I was born
The State of snowy cotton,
The best I've ever known;
A State of sweet magnolias,
And Creole melodies.
Oh give me Louisiana,
The State where I was born
Oh what sweet old mem'ries
The mossyold oaks bring.
It brings us the story
of our Evangeline.
A State of old tradition,
of old plantation days
Makes good ole Louisiana
The sweetest of all States.

You Are My Sunshine

The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistakened
and I hung my head and cried;
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
