Here Lies Louisiana's Great Son
Huey Pierce Long An Unconquered
Friend of the Poor Who Dreamed Of
The Day When the Wealth of the Land
Would Be Spread Among All the People
I Know the Hearts of the People
Because I Have Not Colored My Own
I Know When I Am Right In My Own
Conscience I Have One Language
It's Simplicity Gains Pardon For
My Lack of Letters. Fear Will Not
Change It. Persecution Will Not
Change it. It Cannot Be Changed
While People Suffer
Erected By The State Of Louisiana 1940
