Well it wasn't long ago that my true blue Sally
Said she's getting tired of living in the valley
And wants to go back to Louisian'
See big papa he's a gumbo man
Trouble on the turnpike
Trouble on the road
Trouble on the turnpike too big a load
Goodbye valley for Sally and me
Well to keep Sally happy I do all I can
To keep her that way takes a whole lot of man
My Louisiana woman's tired of California
Ain't enough gumbo here for me
Trouble on the turnpike
Trouble on the road
Trouble on the turnpike too big a load
Goodbye valley for Sally and me
