This is totally wonderful. But I'm wondering... The name is about Louisiana, but the style, chords, singing, everything about the song sounds Irish/Celtic/Newfy. What is the history of the song, do you know?
The song was anonymously written probably during the War of 1812 and was brought to the rest of the world by soldiers of French and/or British background. Check out Paul Brady's version on here.... it's a little different.
Thanks for the comments. My cam does not produce sharper vocals very well so I am left to sing in lower, slightly softer keys. And, of course, as a result I have to hold back.
I remember Cara Dillon singing this song...a beautiful Irish songstress...it's a haunting, soulful, romantic song of an innocent time long gone!! Beautiful version!!
Brilliant!do u have a link with the chords?

Seriously, you introduced this song to me yesterday and it's already one of my favourites, all categories.
I can also relate to the text, somehow. Thanks for posting the video, I wouldn't have learned it on the guitar otherwise.
Keep on singing and playing!

A very nice tune, good job. Could sit and listen to you for hours. Allways look forward to new posting and never get tired of the older ones.

A lovely song, though I wonder if a higher key might produce sharper vocals. I know that the song demands quite a range, so thanks for posting.

Good job on this song. I like Christy Moore's version as well, but you can never go wrong with Paul Brady.
