Louisiana Bayou - Live At Piedmont Park, Atlanta, GA - September 2007

No, no, mamma cry devil done do-si-do
See two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road
The coins in their eyes represent the money they owed
No judge or jury ever gonna hear their story told

Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Same old story again
Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Same old story again
Down by the bayou

Sweet girl daddy done beat that girl like he's insane
Brother can't watch him beat that girl down again
'Til late one night cooking 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
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Same old story again
Down by the bayou

No, no, mamma cry devil done do-si-do
See two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road
And it's a damn shame
Oh, it's a shame to lose your way running wild
And it's a shame to lose the light that shines from you
It's a shame to lose your way as a child
Oh it's a shame to lose your damn shame

Money on my bed, but you ain't got to go
Sold your soul just tryin to get overload
No empty pocket's gonna keep you from gettin' yours
No judge or jury ever gonna hear their story told

Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Same old story again
Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Same old story again
Down by the bayou

No, no, mamma cry devil done do-si-do
See two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road

Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Same old story again
Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Same old story again
Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Same old story again
Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Tryin to play with the 'caine
Same old story again
Down by the bayou
Tryin to play with the 'caine

It's a shame to lose your way running wild
And it's a shame to lose the light that shines on you
Oh it's a shame to lose your way as a child
It's a shame, it's a damn shame

Thank you very much
That's my friend Boyd Tinsley
And now and we really appreciate this weekend
It was like the best way to end the best tour we ever had and thank you very much for doing it with us
Ya'll kicked our asses we hope we may kick ya'll asses when we get to
