Louisiana Lullaby

Verse 1

When I was a child growing up on the bayou
Although I was happy with the life there that I knew
My dreams were of cowboys and a home on the range
No reason for leaving, just wanted a change

Verse 2

Well the years rolled along and I got what I wished for
I traded my flatboat for a saddle and pitchfork
I’m far from the swampland and yet I have found
When everything’s quiet and I lay my head down

Chorus

A Louisiana lullaby plays in my head
Softly, as slumber finds me in my bed
The night sounds are creepin’ round
Nothing can keep ‘em out
Louisiana lullaby, sing me to sleep

Now I’m out on the prairie but my heart’s somewhere else and…

Chorus

Bridge

But for now it’s a comfort, makes me feel at home when…

Chorus
