Well it wasn't long ago that my true blue Sally

Said she's gettin' tired of livin' in the valley
Wants to go back to Louisian'
See Big Papa he's a gumbo man


Trouble on the turnpike, trouble on the road
Trouble on the turnpike too big a load

Yeah ha-hoopa-do-ee
Goodbye valley for my Sally and me
Well to keep Sally happy I'll do all 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 turnpike, trouble on the road
Trouble on the turnpike too big a load

Yeah ha-hoopa-do-ee
Goodbye valley for my Sally and me


Well it wasn't long ago that my true blue Sally
Said she's gettin' tired of livin' in the valley
Wants to go back to Louisian'
