I Wanna Die

I wanna die, I wanna die

Down south Louisiana

And the gray evening skyI wanna die

I don't care how, I'm getting out

Down south Louisiana

And the lonesome highway soundWell, there's a Cajun lady

Down in New Orleans

There's a Cajun lady

And I saw her in my dreamWell, if I'd held her in my arms, girls

Oh, and if I'd held her in my arms

Our friendly love

Might have kept my heart from harmBut I'm out here on this road, girls

And I'm out here on the road

And I'm just a poor girl

And I ain't got a homeAnd I wanna die

I don't care how, I'm getting out

Down south Louisiana

And the lonesome highway soundOh, I ain't got a home, girls

And I ain't got a home

And it's through this world I ramble

And it's through this world I roamWell, as through this world I ramble

And as through this world I roam

I'm just a poor girl

And I ain't got a homeAnd I wanna die, I wanna die

Down south Louisiana

And the gray evening skyWell, I wanna die

I don't care how, I'm getting out

Down south Louisiana

And the lonesome highway sound
