Louisiana the Bayou State they got voodoo in the cities and the home of the Saints I'm from that Red Stick city capital of the boot Baton Rouge my blood runs deep all the way to the root Louisiana Its Deep down in a part of my soul yes I'm Cali reared but Louisiana Born & raised Louisiana May 23 1971 I was baby of the week the chosen one Family close both sides of the board and we can pack at least 100 at the reunion They cook so good they tell ya they put they foot in it give em anything they know what to do with it Louisiana the Bayou State they got voodoo in the cities and the home of the Saints I'm from that Red Stick city capital of the boot Baton Rouge my blood runs deep all the way to the root Grits turned over eggs ham in the am red beans and rice corn bread in the pm Fried turkey wings at the corner store and Piggly Wiggly got the food for the low buckets of pecans from the pecan tree dixie cups from the people up the street ain't nothing like a good snowball with some crawfish boiled potatoes and corn Louisiana the Bayou State they got voodoo in the cities and the home of the Saints I'm from that Red Stick city capital of the boot my blood runs deep all the way to the root Now let me tell you how we do it when we take a trip down to New Orleans Put your umbrellas up that's how we do down here on those rainy days or when its sunny and clear In New Orleans you can see them at the Mardi Gras or you can see them being raised behind funeral cars Its to cover you up so you cant get touched by the rain and the heat and things and such A Louisiana southern style with grace raise it up in the air or use it for shade watch how they act to this beat watch how they bounce to this beat watch how they move watch how the grove watch how they step to this beat and if they acting out there you can call the police but they ain't going no where they all out in the street Louisiana the Bayou State they got voodoo in the cities and the home of the Saints I'm from that Red Stick city capital of the boot Baton Rouge my blood runs deep all the way to the root Way down in Louisiana Deep down in Louisiana Don't you let that Louisiana woman put a root on ya And when we steppin with it we got our own dance In Louisiana we got our own dance It ain't something you taught but its something you feel way down in your soul from the song that you hear Way down in Louisiana Deep down in Louisiana Don't you let that Louisiana woman put a root on ya"
