Lyrics

They met on the banks of the Old Pontchartrain
Two weary souls in the world
And with that first glance they started to dance
To the tune called the Looziana Waltz

The heat of the day has just faded away
And the soft twilight comes like a song
They’ll dance Jole Blon but they one they love most
Is a tune we call the Looziana Waltz

While the band played and the crowd swayed
The homefolks gathered round
The mighty sun laid her weary head down
No more would they stray from the others embrace
And the tune called the Looziana Waltz

Happy years flew on by and she’d said farewell
To the man who had been her true love
Now she’ll join him there but with her dying breath
She asked to hear the Looziana Waltz

While the band played and the crowd swayed
The homefolks gathered round
The mighty sun laid her weary head down
When the fog rolls ashore they’re dancing there still
To the tune called the Looziana Waltz
