Give Me Louisiana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Give Me Louisiana" (French: Donnez-moi la Louisiane; Louisiana Creole: Don mò Lwizyàn) was the state song of Louisiana. It was written in 1970 by Doralice Fontane[1] and arranged by John Croom.[2][3] It was the only official state song of Louisiana from 1970 to 1976. In 1977, You Are My Sunshine was added as a second official state song.[4][5] "Give Me Louisiana" was removed as an official state song in 2021, the same bill where "Southern Nights" by Allen Toussaint was added as the state cultural song.[6][7]
