Louisiana Bayou
main lyrics
No, no, mama, [???] do do-si-do
two young boys lying dead by the side of the road
and the coins in their eyes represent the money they owe
no judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told

Down by the bayou
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
same old story again, you, ah (Louisiana bayou)
down by the bayou
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
same old story again, you, ah (Louisiana bayou)

Sweet girl, daddy, don't beat that girl like it's insane
brother can't watch him beat that girl down again
so late one night cooking up with a couple friends
swears his daddy never gonna see another day

Down by the bayou
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
same old story again, you, ah (Louisiana bayou)
down by the bayou
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
same old story again, you, ah (Louisiana bayou)

We ain't gonna say, oh, no, mama, [???] do-si-do
see two young boys lying dead by the side of the road
shame, shame
it's a shame to lose your way running wild
it's a shame to lose your light shine
and 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 overload
no empty pocket gonna keep you from getting yours
no judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told

Down by the bayou
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
same old story again, you, ah (Louisiana bayou)
down by the bayou
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
same old story again, you, ah (Louisiana bayou)

Oh, no, mama [???] do-si-do
them two young boys lying dead by the side of the road (Louisiana bayou)

Down by the bayou
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to get with the cane, you, ah
[???] again, you, ah (Louisiana bayou)
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
[???] you, ah
same old story again, you
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
same old story again, you, ah (Louisiana bayou)
down by the bayou
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
same old story again, you, ah (Louisiana bayou)
down by the bayou
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah (it's a shame to lose your way running wild
same old story again, you, ah
down by the bayou (it's a shame to lose your light shine
trying to play with the cane, you, ah
trying to play with the cane, you, ah (and it's a shame to lose your way as a child)
same old story again, you, ah (oh, oh)
down by the bayou (it's a shame to lose--)
