A mountain so high and a valley so low,
Oh, Louisiana,
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Susanna,
I'm bound over the mountain.
Oh, the anchor she's weighed, and the sails they are set,
Oh, Louisiana,
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Susanna,
I'm bound over the mountain.
The girls that we're leaving we'll never forget,
Oh, Louisiana,
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Susanna,
I'm bound over the mountain.
Oh, soon we'll be rolling her over the bay,
Oh, Louisiana,
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Susanna,
I'm bound over the mountain.
Goodbye to Sally and goodbye to Sue,
Oh, Louisiana,
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Susanna,
I'm bound over the mountain.
You that are listening, goodbye to you,
Oh, Louisiana,
Louisiana my darling, my Jane and Susanna,
I'm bound over the mountain.
