Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 49, § 155.1. State march song

Verse:

Kissed by the Gulf's mighty stream,

A lovely state, LOUISIANA,

Where sweet magnolias, so rare,

Perfume the air

With fragrance that's supreme.

God bless our lovely state.

It's a paradise right here on earth.

Chorus:

LOUISIANA, LOUISIANA,

It's beauty's always aglow.

Moss covered shade trees

Sway in the cool breeze

While lazy bayous flow.

The sugar cane gleams

Beneath the moonbeams

That light the Heaven's silvr'y dome.

Deep in the Southland

There is a dreamland:

LOUISIANA, my home, sweet home.
