Hey Joe, take my hand, let's go down to Louisiana
And smell the sweet magnolias in the spring
Creole babies nice and sweet, dancing to the bayou beat
When they do the Louisiana swing
Now bayou babies running wild, stealing kisses all the while
The love bug bites everyone in spring
Glow worms glowin' in the dark, couples neckin' in the park
When they do the Louisiana swing
Oh, Billy Woods from Bakersfield, yeah
Oh, Buck Owens, let's hear from ya
In Big Mamou, Louisiana, they play a broken down piano
The people always gather around to sing
Now making eyes and holding hands, she's my woman, I'm her man
When we do the Louisiana swing
Now one more drink of cherry wine and then we'll start a conga line
Hold on to that pretty little thing
I'll ask her can I take her home, and then I'll have her for my own
When we do that Louisiana swing
Oh, Oscar and Jerry, fiddle boy
Now, hey Joe, take my hand, let's go down to Louisiana
And smell the sweet magnolias in the spring
Creole babies nice and sweet, dancing to the bayou beat
When they do the Louisiana swing
Now bayou babies running wild, stealing kisses all the while
The love bug bites everyone in spring
Glow worms glowin' in the dark, couples neckin' in the park
When they do the Louisiana swing
