I Wanna Die

I wanna die, I wanna die

Down south Louisiana

And the gray evening sky

I wanna die

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

Down south Louisiana

And the lonesome highway sound

Well, there's a Cajun lady

Down in New Orleans

There's a Cajun lady

And I saw her in my dream

Well, 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 harm

But 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 home

And I wanna die

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

Down south Louisiana

And the lonesome highway sound

Oh, 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 roam

Well, 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 home

And I wanna die, I wanna die

Down south Louisiana

And the gray evening sky

Well, I wanna die

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

Down south Louisiana

And the lonesome highway sound
