She`s my red hot Louisiana mama, from a town called 
    Am7
New Orleans.
F      G                         C         F
Golden hair and eyes of blue, my real live Dixie 
C
queen.
C            F     G        C
My Louisiana mama, from New Orleans.

#2.
C
She lives down on the bayou when she`s really wild as 
    Am7
can be.
F        G                         F                C
My heart longs to be there so that once again I can see,
C            F     G        C      F C C7
my Louisiana mama, from New Orleans.

BRIDGE:
F                                C
I met her at the Mardi Gras on a warm and bright sunny day.
  D                                       G
I had to leave her standing there but I`m going back to stay.

           C                          Am7
So, if you ever go down the south, my friend, to see what 
C
you can find.
  F                                C         F         C
Remember when you get there, she`s mine, all mine, all mine.
C            F     G        C
My Louisiana mama, from New Orleans.
