[Bessie:] I lub a gal, 'spose she lubs me too,
Anyhow she say she do, she say she do;
We calls her Lou since that gal was born
Down Lousiana, 'mong de sugar and de corn.
Lou, how I lub you true!
Lou, deed I do, I do!
And eb'ry night, when de moon am shine,
I sing dis little gal dis little song ob mine:
[Chorus:] Lou, Lou, I lub you,
I lub you, dat's true;
Don't cry, don't sigh,
You'll see me in de mornin';
Dream, dream, dream ob me,
And I'll dream ob you,
My Lousiana, Lousiana, Lousiana, Lou.
Lou, Lou,
Lou, Lou, I lub you,
I lub you, dat's true;
Don't cry, don't sigh,
You'll see me in de mornin';
Dream, dream, dream ob me,
And I'll dream ob you,
My Lousiana, Lousiana, Lousiana, Lou.

[Bessie:] When Lou was born, I was jess so high,
I was but a baby boy, a baby boy;
Mam says, "My Lor', aren't dem childen spoons
Down Lousiana, 'mong de cotton and de coons.
Lou, how I lub you true!
Lou, deed I do, I do!
In days a-gone to her cot I'd creep,
And sing dis little song to put dat chile asleep:
[Chorus:] Lou, Lou, I lub you,
I lub you, dat's true;
Don't cry, don't sigh,
You'll see me in de mornin';
Dream, dream, dream ob me,
And I'll dream ob you,
My Lousiana, Lousiana, Lousiana, Lou.
Lou, Lou,
Lou, Lou, I lub you,
I lub you, dat's true;
Don't cry, don't sigh,
You'll see me in de mornin';
Dream, dream, dream ob me,
And I'll dream ob you,
My Lousiana, Lousiana, Lousiana, Lou.

[Bessie:] Lou's grown up now, soon she'll marry me;
Anyhow I want her be, I want her be,
For all de nigs lub dat gal ob mine,
Down Lousiana, 'mong de possum and de pine.
Lou, how I lub you true!
Lou, deed I do, I do!
So when we're wed and we're spliced in one,
I'll sing dis little song to bring back days a-gone:
[Chorus:] Lou, Lou, I lub you,
I lub you, dat's true;
Don't cry, don't sigh,
You'll see me in de mornin';
Dream, dream, dream ob me,
And I'll dream ob you,
My Lousiana, Lousiana, Lousiana, Lou.
Lou, Lou,
Lou, Lou, I lub you,
I lub you, dat's true;
Don't cry, don't sigh,
You'll see me in de mornin';
Dream, dream, dream ob me,
And I'll dream ob you,
My Lousiana, Lousiana, Lousiana, Lou.
