[Intro]
Chloe! Chloe!
Someone's calling, no reply
Nightshade's falling, hear him sigh
Chloe! Chloe!
Empty spaces meet his eyes
Empty arms outstretched, he's crying

[Verse 1]
Through the black of night
I've got to go where you are
If it's wrong or right
I've got to go where you are

I'll roll through the dismal swamplands
Searching for you
'Cause if you are there
Let me be there too

[Verse 2]
Through the smoke and flame
I've got to go where you are
For no place could be too far
Where you are

Ain't no chains can bind you
If you live, I'll find you
Love is calling me
I've got to go where you are

[Outro]
(Louie! Louie!) What's that?
(Louie!) Somebody called my name?
Is that you honey? (Louie!)
I believe that I hear love calling me
I've got to go where you are

Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong, known throughout his lengthy career by nicknames like “Satchmo”, “Pops” and simply “Louie”, was a trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor, as well as one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz.

Born and raised in New Orleans, where jazz itself is alleged to have began, Armstrong started his career in 1918, playing the cornet in brass bands and riverboats along the Mississippi River. There, he caught the attention of his future mentor, King Oliver, joining his band in Chicago, where he networked with other popular jazz musicians like Hoagy Carmichael and his first wife Lil Hardin Armstrong.

In 1924, Louie relocated to New York City playing for the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. It was at this time he switched over from cornet to trumpet in order to blend in better with the other musicians in his section. It was also when he developed his emotional playing style, which included singing and telling tales of his life back in New Orleans.
