Charley Pride's song with these lyrics

[edit]

What is the name of the song that has lyrics that goes like this: "Have you ever been there on a Friday Night?/Down in the border when the moon was bright/all together something Louisiana/Put the something by the side of the road/sugar cane and cotton rows"? It was sang by Charley Pride. Donmust90 (talk) 02:28, 17 June 2021 (UTC)Donmust90Donmust90 (talk) 02:28, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found some of the lyrics hidden in a cached version of "Charley Pride: I’m Just Me", an episode of the PBS series American Masters, apparently a transcript and not naming a title: "Have you ever been there on a Friday night? Down in the Quarter when the moon was bright. All together, kind of living like down in Louisiana where the bayou runs by the side of the road. Sugarcane and cotton rows." You have to have a KQED Passport to access the full content. Elsewhere there is a suggestion that the song starts with "Have you ever been down to New Orleans / or hitched a ride on a Delta Queen?".  --Lambiam 09:26, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
