Jolie Holland - I Wanna Die Lyrics

I wanna die, I wanna die down south Louisiana and the gray evenin' sky

I wanna die, I don't care how (I'm getting out) down south Louisiana
And the lonesome highway sound.
There's a Cajun lady down in New Orleans

There's a Cajun lady and I saw her in my dream.
If I'd held her in my arms, girls, oh and if I'd held her in my arms,
Our friendly love might have kept my heart from harm,

But I'm out here on this road girls and I'm out here on the road,

And I'm just a poor girl and I ain't got a home.
Oh I ain't got a home, girls, and I ain't got a home,
And its through this world I ramble and it's through this world I roam.
Well, as through this world I ramble and through this world I roam,
I'm just a poor girl and I ain't got a home. And I wanna die
