Life On the Bayou
Burnin' the cane fields down in Louisiana Black man chop it and they haul it away They're using trucks now Gone are the wagons But nothin's changed us old folks say Life on the bayou Sure moves slow man Slow and dark as a midnight rain Most them young folks, they've gone to the city And all us old folks swear nothin's changed
Cause solid ground it's so hard to come by When you're down in Louisiana land You build your houses down by the water You pray to God it ain't quick sand
Your daddy taught you to pole a pirou Set them traps Lord the old time way Ol' red crawfish gonna feed your children And black alligator gonna haul them away Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Cause solid ground it's so hard to come by When you're down in Louisiana land Build your houses down by the water Pray to God it ain't quick sand
Down on the bayou my life moves slow man Slow and dark as a midnight rain Work like a dog man tryin' to make a livin' And fear no man, no hurricane
Cause solid ground it's so hard to come by When you're down in Louisiana land Build your houses down by the water Pray to God it ain't quick sand
Pray to God it ain't quick sand.
