I left my heart down in old Louisiana
The land where the sugarcane grow
In the country of magnolia blossoms
And the sweet sounds are flowing bayou
The one who won my heart, she was lovely
She promised we never would part
In French Baton Rouge might mean "red stick"
But to me it means broken heart
I crossed over from Texas
One night in the dark
I drove until my eyes were red
I was looking to win me
A cajun girl's heart
But the cajun girl won mine instead
She took it and broke it to pieces
She laughed as she tore it apart
In French Baton Rouge might mean "red stick"
But to me it means broken heart
I crossed over from Texas
One night in the dark
And drove until my eyes were red
I was looking to win me
A cajun girl's heart
But the cajun girl won mine instead
She took it and broke it to pieces
She laughed as she tore it apart
In French Baton Rouge might mean "red stick"
But to me it means broken heart
Yeah
In French Baton Rouge might mean "red stick"
But to me it means broken heart
