Give Me Louisiana Lyrics

Written by Doralice Fontane
Composed by Dr. John Croom

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 mossy old 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.
