A JJ Cale cover about how well Louisiana women treat him.
As with most Cale works, much of the song’s message is expressed in the guitar rather than the lyrics, the latter of which tend to be stripped down and simple. That element fits this song, as the guitar (and Waylon’s relaxed baritone) evokes...
[Chorus]
I got a gal in Baton Rouge
She calls me Louisiana
[Verse]
She gives me a bed and something to eat
She knows just what I want
She treats me right
Lord, Lord, Lord treats me right (yes she does)
Treats me right. (yeah, take it Willie)
I went down to New Orleans to have myself a ball
The ladies there they don't care they just don't care at all
But they treat you right Lord Lord Lord treat you right Louisiana gal treats you right
From the gulf of the Mississippi up to Baton Rouge
With the Louisiana ladies boy you just can't lose
They'll treat you right
Lord, Lord, Lord treat you right
Yeah, treat you right boy
[Chorus]
Louisiana Women was written by J.J. Cale.
