Bayou Blues

On the way from Baton Rouge to Thibodaux
Them windshield wipers they are wipin' far from slow
Tornado warning goes out on the radio
& lightning strikes in the trees down in the Bayou

           Oh it's pourin' down rain on the sugarcane
           these Bayou Blues keep callin' my name, keep callin' my name
           Oh Oh Oh

This Creole girl way down in Lafayette
She wore me out Lord she made me sweat
Was I dreamin' when I saw the silhouette
Of a man with a gun by the side of the bed

           Oh. it's pourin' down rain on the sugarcane
           these Bayou Blues keep callin' my name, keep callin' my name
           Oh Oh Oh

SOLO

There's a dead Armadillo down on  Devil Swamp Road
Guess I'm on the run tryin' to lose-a-my load
Water keeps on risin' almost up to my throat
Gotta get on out of here gotta get me a boat

           Oh, it's pourin' down rain on the sugarcane
           These Bayou Blues keep callin' my name, keep callin' my name
           Oh, it's pourin' down rain on the sugarcane
           These Bayou Blues keep callin' my name, keep callin' my name  
           Oh Oh Oh
           Oh Oh Oh
