|
No no momma now devil don't do si do |
|
Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road |
|
The coins in their eyes represent the money they owe |
|
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Down by the bayou |
|
Try to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Try to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Say my story again |
|
(Louisiana) down by the bayou |
|
Try to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Try to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Same old story again |
|
Louisiana bayou |
|
Sweet girl daddy done beat that girl like he's insane |
|
Brother can't watch him beat that girl down again |
|
So late one night cookin' up with a couple of friends |
|
Swears his daddy never gonna see another day |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Louisiana bayou |
|
No, no, Mama, the Devil done do-si-do |
|
see 2 young boys lined up on the side of the road |
|
Shame shame |
|
Oh it's a shame to lose your way running wild |
|
It's a shame to lose the light that shines (shame shame) |
|
Oh it's a shame to lose your way as a child |
|
Oh it's a shame to lose your... |
|
Money on the bed but you ain't got to go |
|
Sold your soul just trying to get over low |
|
No empty pocket gonna keep you from getting yours |
|
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told |
|
Down by the bayou |
|
Try to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Try to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Same old story again, you ah |
|
Down by the bayou |
|
Try to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Try to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Same old story again, you ah |
|
No, no, Mama, tryin' Devil done do-si-do |
|
Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road |
|
(Louisiana bayou) Down by the bayou |
|
Tryin' to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Tryin' to get with the pain, you ah |
|
Say my story again, you ah |
|
Louisiana bayou |
|
Tryin' to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Tryin' to play with the cane, you ah |
|
Troubles do it again |

|
Tryin' to play with the cane |
|
Oh it's a shame to lose your way running wild (same old story again) |
|
Oh it's a shame to lose the light that shines |
|
Oh it's a shame to lose your way as a child |
|

|
Down by the bayou |
