Subject: RE: Help: Did Jimmie Davis really write SUNSHINE?
Shucks, nobody sings the last verse of this song no more-
Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya
The biggest shrimp and sugar cane,
The finest oysters,
And sweet strawberries,
From Toledo Bend to New Orleans.
Now only a Pineville boy would write that. One of the two official Louisiana state songs, credited to Davis and Mitchell. I'll go along with that.
