I took a long trip to the cities |
|
I was determined to get somewhere |
|
I spent all my hard-earned money |
|
I had saved to put me there. |
|
Big Bayou, where do you go ? |
|
To the river running slow |
|
And to the Gulf of mexico |
|
Big Bayou, carry me home. |
|
I took a picking job in Memphis |
|
And the people there treated me good |
|
But my luck ran bad in Nashville |
|
I walked the streets of Hollywood. |
|
Big Bayou, where do you go ? |
|
To the river running slow |
|
And to the Gulf of mexico |
|
Big Bayou, carry me home. |
|
..... |
|
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. |
|
Oh Lord, I'm going home |
|
Where the fish jump in the air |
|
You know I won't need a lot of money |
|
'Cause I ain't going nowhere. |
|
Big Bayou, where do you go ? |
|
To the river just running slow |
|
And to the Gulf of mexico |
|
Big Bayou, carry me home, oh yeah. |
|
Big Bayou, where do you go ? |
|
To the river just running slow |
|
And to the Gulf of mexico |
|
Big Bayou, carry me home. |
|
Big Bayou, where do you go ? |
|
To the river just running slow |
|
And to the Gulf of mexico |
|
Big Bayou, where do you go ? |
|
And I'm .... |
|
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go home. |
