The midi clip goes something like... Years ago I left my home in Louisiana With things of fame and fortune on my mind How was I to know that things were nothing to compare with what I'd left behind. best wishes, Yvonne |

Here's my transcription: NAME A SPOT IN HEAVEN LOUISIANA Margie Sullivan Years ago I left Louisiana With dreams of fame and fortune on my mind. How was I to know that there was nothing To compare with what I left behind? CHORUS: So name a spot in heaven 'Louisiana' And place my mansion just inside the door. Let the cool winds blow through cotton and magnolia. Let me hear that Cajun music just once more. It's harsh to know I took so much for granted, Too young to know the changes time can bring. I left behind the ones who really loved me To search for wealth and happiness in vain. CHORUS Now in my dreams I'm back in Louisiana, Back on that old farm where I was born. Though time has changed the places and the faces, Still there's just no place on earth like home. CHORUS Note from Joe Offer (7 Jan 2011): BMI says songwriters were Jimmie H. Davis and Margie B. Sullivan |
