Title: How do you pronounce Louisiana? Post by: Old Tider on March 12, 2011, 03:52:11 PM Just listening to Johnny Cash singing about "them old cotton fields back home." Many singing this song pronouce it "La-WEE-zee-ana" which fits the rhythm best. But good ole boy Johnny sticks to "LOOS-zee-ana." Anybody here put the "wee" in Louisana?
