Lyrics

[Verse 1] I left my heart down in old Louisiana The land where the sugarcane grow In the country of magnolia blossoms And the sweet sounds of flowing bayou [Verse 2] The one that 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 [Outro] Yeah, in French Baton Rouge might mean "red stick" But to me it means broken heart
