Louisiana Bayou

No, no, Mama, now Devil done do-si-do

Two young boys lyin' 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

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Same old story again

(Louisiana bayou) Down by the bayou

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Same old story again

Louisiana bayou

Sweet girl, daddy done beat that girl like he's insane

Brother can't watch him beat that girl down again

So late one night cookin' up with a couple of friends

Swears his daddy never gonna see another day

Down by the bayou

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Same old story again

(Louisiana bayou) Down by the bayou

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Same old story again

(Louisiana bayou) Bring down a saint

No, no, Mama, the Devil done do-si-do

See two young boys lyin' dead by side of the road

Shame shame

Oh it's a shame to lose your way running wild

Oh it's a shame to lose the light that shines (shame shame)

Oh 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 tryin' to get over low

No empty pocket gonna keep you from gettin' yours

No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told

Down by the bayou

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Same old story again

(Louisiana bayou) Down by the bayou

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Same old story again

(Louisiana bayou) ?

No, no, Mama, Tryin' Devil done do-si-do

Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road

(Louisiana bayou) Down by the bayou

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to get with the pain

See there's nowhere to go

Louisiana bayou

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Troubles do it again

Same old sold story again (Louisiana bayou)

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Same old story again

(Louisiana bayou) Down by the bayou

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Same old story again

(Louisiana bayou) Down by the bayou

Tryin' to play with the 'caine

Oh it's a shame to lose your way running wild (same old story again)

Oh it's a shame to lose the light that shines

Oh it's a shame to lose your way as a child

Oh (same old story again) it's a shame to lose your

Down by the bayou
