Story Behind the Song
This song was motivated by my love for New Orleans music starting with my dad's Louis Armstong records.I've been there many times starting in collage when I'd hop the freight train from Carbondale.
Lyrics
Down in Louisiana
by Franklin Welch
Well the people dance to the chanky-chank beat
Down in Louisiana
Have a big parade down Rampart Street
Down in Louisiana
They like their gumbo hot and their crawfish sweet
Down in Louisiana
Music that will get you up on your feet
Down in Louisiana
Take me back to where the Meters play,
Down in Louisiana
Have a faux-de-deux at the end of the day,
Down in Louisiana
Where the magnolias bloom and the Spanish moss sway
If you cannot boogie get on out of the way
Down in Louisiana
Satchmo made those river boats swing,
Down in Louisiana
Henry Roland Byrd made his piano sing,
Down in Louisiana
They got the Night Tripper doing his gris-gris thing,
Wild Tchapatulas make the Mardi Gras ring,
Down in Louisiana
Do that old second line, Down in Louisiana
Do that old second line, Down in Louisiana
Do that old second line, Down in Louisiana
Do that old second line, Down in Louisiana
Down in Louisiana
Down in Louisiana
Down in Louisiana
