Louisiana Blues Lyrics

I'm goin' down in Louisiana
Be, be, behind the sun
I'm goin' down in Louisiana
Honey, behind the sun
Well, you know I just found out

My troubles just begun
I'm goin' down in New Orleans, hmm
Get me a mojo hand
I'm goin' down in New Orleans
Get me a mojo hand

(spoken: oh take me with you, man, when you goin')
I'm 'on show all you goodlookin' women
Yes, how to treat your love
(spoken: let's go back to New Orleans)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
