Lyrics
- Goodbye, ev’rybody, I’m on my way to Louisville
I feel, oh, so happy I hardly can keep still
Although my home is very small, I invite you all
If you will come, you’ll be welcome any time you call
Refrain
Don’t forget Don’t forget
When you’re down in Louisville
Louisville, Louisville, just call around
I’ll be found in the town directory
I’ll have the table set
No fancy dishes, but the things you get
Will all be delicious
And you’re just as welcome as can be
When you get there, take a Jitney bus
Call on us, I’ll have you see the family
If you’re ever so lucky to be down in Kentucky
Don’t forget to stop at Louie, Louie, Louisville
And call on me
- Listen, ev’rybody, we’ve got the fairest women there
Lovely dispositions and locks of golden hair
They’ve got complexions like the rose, ev’rybody knows
Nature made them, we parade them dressed in simple clothes
