I was born on a Louisiana road Soon as I could walk, I had to carry a load Papa left when I was just about four Mama died, didn't want to live no more Louisian', Louisian' Lord have mercy Mercy on a Louisiana man I heard Blind Lemon singing in the street I loved that sound and I loved that beat Led that blind man by the hand Deep Ellem, Texas, across the Texas borderland I never will forget that fatal day I ran into a man that kept calling me names Lost my temper and I cut him down The verdict was: guilty, I was sugarland bound Louisian', Louisian' Lord have mercy Mercy on a Louisiana man Some got six months, some got a year Me and my buddy doing lifetime here Hard, hard labor from morning 'til night They work me like a mule on the black-ball-line Wish a voodoo doctor down in New Orleans Mix me a potion, lay a thing on me Put a spell on my captain and break my chain Walk out of here, a free man again Louisian', Louisian' Lord have mercy Mercy on a Louisiana man Let the midnight special shine it's light on me Let the midnight special shine it's ever loving light on meTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
