Down On The Bayou
William Clark Green

It's 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
