lyrics

7) Louisiana Nights - m.litton

These Louisiana nights seem so cold
All these Southern gals are pretty but I’m so shy
Can’t they tell by the way I look at them
That I don’t wanna be lonely tonight
Please don’t leave me lonely tonight

Outside the traffic rolls on like a river
The streetlamp glows just like a moon
The rain starts to fall and I shiver
As her eyes say Hello, how are you
Ain’t got much to say, suppose I’ll say How d’ya do

Chorus: This lover in my heart like the shadows on the wall
Are gonna call for you
I’ll whisper like the breeze ‘n hope you might see
My eyes following you
Oh Louisiana nights, what a long, long way to roam
Louisiana nights, she so far away ‘n I feel just like a ghost

Now the rain it runs beneath the door
The window is broken by the wind
The music must play till the player has gone
And the actors mustl speak their lines again
Like an actor I’ll play it to the end

Yes, it’s plain that many men have hurt you
Did you try too hard to please?
I can see where you’ve been ‘n you’re a giver
Now won’t you give your warm lovin’ to me
I won’t break your heart, I won’t steal your dreams
(chorus)

The Gothic Cowboy/The Border Band Lawrence, Kansas

I'm a creekbank ghetto boy. Began my singin' near half a century ago in Canada, then hit northeast, down thru Nashville, Austin, out to Colorado and back to Kansas where I started out and will likely remain. My influences are Leadbelly, Jimmie Rodgers, CCR and The Band, while the juices of a hundred others flavor my music, not to mention the devil himself if that's what it takes to make a song... ... more
