Lyrics Lafayette (Remastered) - New Jordal Swingers

She was standin' by the road with her red dress on
I caught a classic silhouette
I hit the brakes and the radioman announced
Rock-a-billy Johnny Burnette
I said when ya' goin' can I give you a ride
She offered me a cigarette
She said, I'm headin' down south Louisiana way
On my way to Lafayette

We're goin'-a Lafayette
Goin'-a Lafayette
Headin' down south Louisiana way
On our way to Lafayette
Goin'-a Lafayette
We're headin' down south Louisiana way

She introduced herself as a native born mama
An' you can call me Marie Jeanette
There's been some time since Robert E. Lee
And no sir, I never had to regret
There was this crossroad sign 'long the telegraph line
With words that I will never forget
Said, if you, re tryin' to get rid of those uptown blues
Cela vs sans dire Lafayette

We'r goin'-a Lafayette
Goin-'a Lafayette
We're headin' down south Louisiana way
On our way to Lafayette
We're goin'-a Lafayette
Goin-'a Lafayette
We're headin' down south Louisiana way
On our way to Lafayette
