Louie Riel - Amos Garrett, Doug Sahm

I’m sailin', sailin'

place I’ve never seen

That’s way down south

Sweet ol' New Orleans

Cause my hometown friend treats me awful mean

If I could holler, yeah, holler

If I could scream and cry

It hurts me so

When I look up in the sky

Cause my friends turn their heads

As they pass me by

Now it’s rainin', it’s rainin'

The wind’s blowin' cold

Lord I thought I heard

My train whistle blow

Now I’m gonna sail so far

'Til I won’t be back no more

Pardon me, Pardon me

It’s so hard to stand

I ain’t got no money

Uncle Sam has called my name

Now there’s not a soul

To lend me a helpin' hand
