Well it wasn't long ago that my true blue Sally
Said she's gettin' tired of livin' in the valley
Went to go back to Louisian' see Big Papa he's a gumbo man
Trouble on the turnpkine trouble on the road
Trouble on the turnpike too big a load
Yeah ha-hoopa-do-ee goodbye valley for my Sally and me
[ guitar ]
Well to keep Sally happy I'll do what I can
To keep her that way takes a whole lot of man
A Louisiana woman is tired of California ain't enough gumbo here for me
Trouble on the turnpkine...
