Intro

Verse 1

Well it was out in California

By the San Diego Sea

That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me

Yeah she nearly drove me crazy

With all those China toys

And I know she really didn't mean a thing

To those sailor boys

Chorus

Louisiana rain

Is falling at my feet

Baby I'm noticing a change

As I move down the street

Louisiana rain

Is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same

When I reach Baton Rouge

Verse 2

South Carolina

Put out its arms for me

Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely street

And I still can't quite remember

Who helped me to my feet

Thank God for a long neck bottle

The angel's remedy

Chorus

Louisiana rain

Is falling just like tears

Running down my face

Washing out the years

Louisiana rain

Is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same

When I reach Baton Rouge

Solo chords

Verse 3

Well I never will get over

This English refugee

Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery

Yeah he was eating pills like candy

And chasing them with tea

You should have seen him lick his lips at old black Molly B.

Chorus

Louisiana rain

Is falling at my feet

Baby I'm noticing a change

As I move down the street

Louisiana rain

Is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same

When I reach Baton Rouge

Louisiana rain

Is falling just like tears

Running down my face

Washing out the years

Louisiana rain

Is soaking through my shoes

I may never be the same

When I reach Baton Rouge
