Thread Name: Lyr Req: Oh, Louisiana (from Pete Seeger)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Oh, Louisiana' info?
From the sound sample on Amazon (it is the Carnegie Hall Concert, Peace) it sounds a bit like a shanty (or possibly a similar land-based song about leaving). The words on the sample are:
.... - Oh, Louisiana,
Louisiana my darling, my Jean and Suzannah
I'm bound all o'er the mountains
The girls that we're leaving we'll never forget - Oh, Louisiana
Louisiana my darling, my Jean and Suzannah
I'm bound all o'er the mountains
