Down On The Bayou

Lyrics

It's been raining all day I can't go home The truck is stuck and the motor's blown Catfish cookin' at the Pine Tree Lodge Drink a little whiskey down at the bar Drink a little whiskey down at the bar There's barefoot John with two left shoes He's got a Pabst Blue Ribbon and the gumbo blues He said the oils still pumping and the money's strong But he gave it to a woman now she's gone Gave it to a woman now she's gone I want to go home but I can't complain Living the life in a coonass dream The water's rising but it's running slow Down on the bayou I'm going to put my troubles in a frying pan With a Speckle belly goose and a Mallard hen I'm going to eat my fill and drink mine too Then gypsy dance with the Cajun moon Gypsy dance with the Cajun moon So let me sing you a song, sing a melody Do the alligator stomp on top the levee The phones are down, I ain't heard no news They all washed away with the Gulf Coast blues Washed away with the Gulf Coast blues I want to go home but I can't complain Living the life in a coonass dream The water's rising but it's running slow Down on the bayou
