Down in Lou-siana, Louisiana - Land of Creole Sues, Patois, Mardi Gras and romantic blues. Once I heard a lover, when work was over strum his Creole croone To his lovey dovey underneath the Dixie Moon. I heard him say just so
Chantez-les bas, that means in Creole - sing 'em low. I like that pretty word, Chantez-les bas. She likes her blues played sweetly and slow, oh Chantez-les bas. I can't forget that serenade, and if you listen to me Just for a while, I'd like to sing for you just what he said: Oh in the mornin' baby
jes' fore a day, in the mornin' jes' fore a day, in the mornin' jes' fore a day, New Orleans, hey, hey! Oh in the mornin'

jes' fore a day, in the mornin' jes' fore a day, in the mornin' jes' fore a day, I'll come and get you and take you away, far, far away.
