Down On the Bayou Lyrics

Its been raining all day I can�t go home
The truck is stuck and the motor�s blown
Catfish cookin� at the Pine Tree Lodge
Drink a little whiskey down at the bar
Drink a little whiskey down at the bar

There�s barefoot John with two left shoes
He�s got a Pabst Blue Ribbon and the gumbo blues
He said the oils still pumping and the money�s strong
But he gave it to a woman now she�s gone
Gave it to a woman now she�s gone.

I want to go home but I can�t complain
Living the life in a coonass dream
The water�s rising but it�s running slow
Down on the bayou

I�m going to put my troubles in a frying pan
With a Speckle belly goose and a Mallard hen
I�m going to eat my fill and drink mine too
Then gypsy dance with the Cajun moon
Gypsy dance with the Cajun moon

So let me sing you a song, sing a melody
Do the alligator stomp on top the levee
The phones are down, I ain�t heard no news
They all washed away with the Gulf Coast blues
Washed away with the Gulf Coast blues

I want to go home but I can�t complain
Living the life in a coonass dream
The water�s rising but it�s running slow
Down on the bayou
