Lois Lang Songtext
von Acantha Lang

Her name is Lois Lang
But she ain′t have no superman
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
Her name is Lois Lang
Sweet like sugarcane
She′s a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans

Louisiana chile
Born in the south
Nineteen forty-three
So imagine what she's seen
Mr. Crow was in the air
Magnolias in her hair
Hollygrove girl
With tight press and curl


Sittin' on the porch
Waiting for the sun to shine
Dinah′s on the radio
She′s got tears in her eyes
You can feel the heat
Coming off Clouet Street
Sweaty nights on the bayou
Lord have mercy on me

Her name is Lois Lang
But she ain't have no superman
She′s a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
Her name is Lois Lang
Sweet like sugarcane
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans

Fell deep in love
Walkin′ in the 9th ward
Seventeen years
She tried to persevere
She loved my daddy
Until things fell apart
She's an old school girl
Who lived with her heart


Four babies on her hips
She ain′t let her backbone slip
She's strong like them hurricanes
Ya can't forget their names
Betsy and Katrina
You can hear them scream loud
Goddamn Mississippi
Keep me runnin′

Her name is Lois Lang
But she ain′t have no superman
(No superman)
She's a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans
Her name is Lois Lang
Sweet like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
She′s a creole queen
Born down in New Orleans

Sweet
Sweet
Like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
Sweet
Sweet
Like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
Sweet
Sweet
Like sugarcane
(Like sugarcane)
