Lou'siana Belle

Lou'siana's de same old state,

Whar Massa us'd to dwell;

He had a lubly cullud gal

'Twas the Lou'siana Belle.

Chorus:

Oh! Belle don't you tell, don't tell Massa, don't you Belle,

Oh! Bell, de Lou'siana Belle,

I's gwine to marry you Lou'siana Belle.

I wen to de ball de udder night,

I cut a mighty swell;

I danc'd de Polka pigon-wing,

Wid de Lou'siana Belle.

Dere's Dandy Jim ob Caroline

I knows him by de swell,

Trying to come it mighty fine,

Wid de Loui'siana Belle.

Dere's first de B and den de E,

And den de double LL;

A nodder E to the end ob day,

Spells Lou'siana Belle.
