Tom: G A I wanna die D A I wanna die E Down south Louisiana D A And the gray evening sky A I wanna die D A I don't care how I'm getting out E Down south Louisiana D A And the lonesome highway sound A Well there's a cajun lady D Down in New Orleans E There's a cajun lady D A And I saw her in my dream A Well if I'd held her in my arms, girls D A Oh and if I'd held her in my arms E Our friendly love D A Might have kept my heart from harm A But I'm out here on this road, girls D A And I'm out here on the road E And I'm just a poor girl D A And I ain't got a home A And I wanna die D A I don't care how I'm getting out E Down south Louisiana D A And the lonesome highway sound A Oh I ain't got a home, girls D A And I ain't got a home A And it's through this world I ramble D A And it's through this world I roam A Well, it's through this world I ramble D A And as through this world I roam E I'm just a poor girl D A And I ain't got a home A And I wanna die D A I wanna die E Down south Louisiana D A And the gray evening sky A Well I wanna die D I don't care how I'm getting out E Down south Louisiana D A And the lonesome highway sound
