[Chorus]
Louisiana Redbone, she won't stay home
She won't stay home for nothin'
Louisiana Redbone, she won't stay home
She won't stay home for nothin'

[Verse 1]
Down in Louisiana near Lake Charles Bayou
Country livin' on the banks of the river
There is a man named Bodine Beaudreaux
Spends all his time on the bayou fishin'

[Verse 2]
One day Beaudreaux polin' his pirogue
Said, "I need a woman for to keep me happy"
Went into the country, got himself a young wife
She's very pretty but he ain't very happy

[Chorus]
Louisiana Redbone, she won't stay home
She won't stay home for nothin'
Louisiana Redbone, she won't stay home
She won't stay home for nothin'

[Verse 3]
Now, Bodine Beaudreaux really has his hands full
He's gettin' older, and his wife's much younger
She's full of fire, he's a-gettin' tired
But he has to keep goin' just to keep her happy
[Verse 4]
Poles his pirogue down to the store-o
Buys pretty things just to satisfy her
When old Beaudreaux steps out of the door-o
In comes a crawfish to satisfy her

[Chorus]
Louisiana Redbone, she won't stay home
She won't stay home for nothin'
Louisiana Redbone, she won't stay home
She won't stay home for nothin'

[Outro]
Go home, Redbone
