Lyrics Louisiana Boogie - Merle Travis
Way
down
in
Louisiana
where
a
feller
played
piano
In
a
boogie
woogie
Delta
band
When
trouble
was
arrivin'
he'd
go
right
on
a-jivin'
With
a
.38
special
in
his
hand
He
got
to
shootin'
one
night
a-not
a-meanin'
no
harm
He
ended
up
a-workin'
on
a
prison
farm
And
now
they
call
him
Old
Delta
Dan
The
Louisiana
Boogie
Woogie
Man
He
does
the
Louisiana
Boogie
(Louisiana
Boogie)
With
a
ball
and
chain
(ball
and
chain)
He
knows
the
boogie
woogie
just
like
his
middle
name
When
the
sun
it
comes
a-cookin'
and
the
guard
he
ain't
a-lookin'
He
gets
a
good
grip
on
his
hole
Starts
a-grinnin'
and
a-choppin',
reelin'
and
a-rockin'
'Til
he
gets
to
the
end
of
the
row
Just
a-choppin'
in
rhythm
and
a-havin'
his
fun
A-hittin'
eight
beats
to
the
other
man's
one
Ol'
eight-beat
Delta
Dan
The
Louisiana
Boogie
Woogie
Man
He
does
the
Louisiana
Boogie
(Louisiana
Boogie)
With
a
ball
and
chain
(ball
and
chain)
He
knows
the
boogie
woogie
just
like
his
middle
name
One
day
he
told
the
warden
if
he
couldn't
get
a
pardon
There's
a
favor
that
would
suit
him
so
well
Tell
the
state
of
Louisiana
just
to
gimme
my
piano
Lock
it
with
me
in
my
cell
When
Gabriel
blows
his
trumpet
at
the
end
of
time
I'll
have
him
boogie
woogie
when
he
blows
the
second
line
Ol'
boogie
woogie
Delta
Dan
The
Louisiana
Boogie
Woogie
Man
He
does
the
Louisiana
Boogie
(Louisiana
Boogie)
With
a
ball
and
chain
(ball
and
chain)
He
knows
the
boogie
woogie
just
like
his
middle
name
