You Are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You’ll never know, dear,
How much I love you,
Please don’t take my sunshine away.
The other night, dear,
As I lay sleeping,
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken,
And I hung my head and cried.
(chorus)
I’ll always love you
And make you happy,
If you will only say the same,
But if you leave me
To love another,
You’ll regret it all some day.
(chorus)
You told me once, dear,
You really loved me,
And no one else could come between,
But now you’ve left me
And love another,
You have shattered all my dreams.
(chorus)
Louisiana, my Louisiana,
the place where I was born.
White fields of cotton,
Green fields clover,
the best fishing
and long tall corn.
(chorus)
Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya,
the biggest shrimp and sugar cane,
the finest oysters,
and sweet strawberries
from Toledo Bend to New Orleans.
(chorus)
