Lyrics

Lover Of The Bayou

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Catfish pie in gris gris bag

I´m the lover of the bayou

Mark your doorstep with a half wet rag

I´m the lover of the bayou

Raised and swam with the crocodile

Snake-eye taught me the Mojo style

Sucking weed on chicken bile

I´m the lover of the bayou

I learned the key to the master look

I learned to float in the water clock

I learned to capture the lightning shock

I´m the lover of the bayou

And I got cat´s an' teeth and hair for sale

I´m the lover of the bayou

Look out, look out, Baron Zombies on your tail

I´m the lover of the bayou

I cooked the bat in the gumbo pan

I drank the blood, drank the blood from a rusty can

Turned me into the Honga man

I´m the lover of the bayou
