The Death of Huey Long Lyrics
Oh, they shot Huey Long in Louisiana
As he walked down the capitol steps
Yes they killed Huey Long in Louisiana
As he strolled from the capitol, there
Poverty was his share back in childhood
He was one of a family of nine
Living in the clay hills of Louisiana
But he soon left those red hills behind
And at 16 he left a place called Luin parish
When to Shreveport where he went to school
They expelled him for starting some troublе
Claiming that Huey broke evеry rule
Though a short span of years he gained power
Louisiana made him governor
He was kind; he was cruel with his power
When they made him state senator
He was soon known through out all this glorious land
Friend or foe spoke of him, right or wrong
Louisiana has lost a great leader
When that bullet went through Huey Long
It don’t matter what creed a man believed in
Just as long as a man is sincere
Huey Long always fought in the open
Friend and foe knew that he had no fear
He made friends; he made foes
Many times came to blows
Ever fighting what he thought was wrong
Louisiana has lost a great leader
When that bullet went through Huey Long
Oh, they shot Huey Long in Louisiana
As he walked down the capitol steps
Yes, they killed Huey Long in Louisiana
As he strolled from the capitol, there
