in a backwater town, close to Baton Rouge
theres a creole wh,o singing the blues
saxaphone man, playng a line
hes blowin those notes, six eight time
livin on a bayou
livin on a bayou
Em intro riff x 2
river boat man, got a gator tooth ring
he dont read the news, it dont tell him anything
go to the dinner, get some greasy greens
gumbo stew , rice and greens
livin on a bayou
livin on a bayou
Solo
Em intro riff x2
on the edge of town, by the old cafe
the blind street singer, you gotta hear him play
madam hoodoo, will read your palm
what shes gonna tell ya, will do no harm
livin on a bayou
livin on a bayou
livin on a bayou
livin on a bayou
Em intro riff x2
