LOUISIANA LOVE CALL
Words and music by Marty Grebb
As recorded by Maria Muldaur (with Aaron Neville) on "Louisiana Love Call" (1992)

I miss the breeze in the magnolia trees.
Oh, I need to go
Down to the delta and let that sweet music
Wash over my soul.
You can't be lonesome once you get to know some
Of old New Orleans.
I'm gonna stay out till dawn and ride on the river
Just like a riverboat queen.

CHORUS: Louisiana love call, callin' to me—
The birds on the bayou sang a sweet melody.
Louisiana love call—sing it to me;
Sing me the sweet lullaby of the Mississippi.

I'm gonna sit out all day at a sidewalk cafe
With the sun shinin' bright,
And I know a place where the street players play
From mornin' till night.
In ev'ry parish the people all cherish
Their easygoin' days.
I'm gonna spend a little time with an old love of mine
Down Abbeville way.

CHORUS TWICE
