It Don't Matter
By Jerry Jeff Walker, John Inmon, Keith Sykes

D
Oh these days, I'm a nervous wreck, 
D                              A           D
Trying to live my life so politically correct
D
Don't smoke here, don't you stand over there
D                                  A           D
Drink bottled water, don't you breathe the air
G
World's so crowded, you can't hardly move
D
Everybody telling you what to do
A
People relax, give each other room
D
Let me tell you what all the Cajuns like to do


Chorus:
G
Down in Louisiana, it don't matter
D
If you're sane as a judge, mad as a hatter
A
People down there, they don't ever stay blue
       D
Cause they just ate or they're fixin' to
G
They party all night, it makes you feel right
D
The Big Easy knows that you just gotta let go
[Second verse:  "The easy people know that you gotta let it go"]
A
Skinny or fatter, natty or tattered
D
Down in Louisiana, it don't matter
D
Down in Louisiana, it don't matter


Let me tell you how it is in New Orleans
Life revolves around a lot of rice and beans
They like to share a laugh and tell you what they mean
They always have a smile on their face for everyone they meet
Live and let live is the way that they do
Have the neighbors over for some alligator stew
Crawfish etoufee, Rockin' Doopsie plays
Next thing you know all your troubles fly away

Chorus (x2)
