Chanson

Give Me Louisiana

Adopté en 1970, elle fut composée par Doralice Fontane
1 - 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 memories The mossy old oaks bring It brings us the story of our Evangeline A state of old tradition, Of old plantation days Makes good old Louisiana The sweetest of all states.	2 - Give me Louisiana, A state prepared to share That good old southern custom, Hospitality so rare; A state of fruit and flowers, Of sunshine and spring showers Oh give me Louisiana, The state where I was born Its woodlands, Its marshes Where humble trappers live Its rivers, Its valleys, A place to always give A state where work is pleasure, With blessings in full measure Makes good old Louisiana The dearest of all states.
3 - Give me Louisiana, Where love birds always sing In shady lanes or pastures, The cowbells softly ring; The softness of the sunset Brings peace and blissful rest Oh give me Louisiana, The state where I was born The smell of sweet clover Which blossoms everywhere The fresh new mown hay Where children romp and play A state of love and laughter, A state for all here after Makes good old Louisiana The grandest of all states.
