Big Bayou

Guilbeau

I took a long trip to the cities

I was determined to get somewhere

I spent all my hard-earned money

I had saved to put me there

Big Bayou, where do you go ?

To the river running slow

And to the Gulf of mexico

Big Bayou, carry me home

I took a picking job in Memphis

And the people there treated me good

But my luck ran bad in Nashville

I walked the streets of Hollywood

Big Bayou, where do you go ?

To the river running slow

And to the Gulf of mexico

Big Bayou, carry me home

.....

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh Lord, I'm going home

Where the fish jump in the air

You know I won't need a lot of money

'Cause I ain't going nowhere

Big Bayou, where do you go ?

To the river just running slow

And to the Gulf of mexico

Big Bayou, carry me home, oh yeah

Big Bayou, where do you go ?

To the river just running slow

And to the Gulf of mexico

Big Bayou, carry me home

Big Bayou, where do you go ?

To the river just running slow

And to the Gulf of mexico

Big Bayou, where do you go ?

And I'm ....

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go home
