Alligator Pie - Live at Piazza Napoleone, Lucca, Italy - July 2009

Thank you very much everybody
Thanks for coming again
Grazie, grazie
This song is called "Alligator Pie"
1-2-3-4

Floatin' in the lower nine
Waitin' for a boat to throw me a line
My Stella smile
Sittin' on a roof, eatin' alligator pie
First day, the sun, it rise
Second day, the Sun is high
Third day, Stella cries
'Cause night time's dark as a dead man's eyes

Yeah! Lord, Lord! Yeah!
Oh, tell me when help is gonna come
Oh! Yeah-yeah! Yeah!
Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"

"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"

"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"

Storm went right on by
Thank the Lord everybody's alright
I don't mean to blow up a second line
But the Devil broke the levee and left us here to die

Yeah! Lord, Lord! Yeah!
Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"

"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"

"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"

Like a dance hall to get y'all down
Take a dance hall to get y'all down
Take a dance hall to get y'all—oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

All the things we know and everything we hope for
All the things we wanted, everything that was sure
Now, there is a scar where the old men used to be
That corner store and market where Stella used to sing to me
Grace is all I'm asking, when will Grace return?
Grace is all I'm asking

Remember how it feels
Lazy days in the summertime
My Stella smiled
Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"

Oh! Yeah-yeah! Lord!
Stella said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Oh! Yeah-yeah! Lord!
Said, "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
Back up, back up now!
"Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" Yeah, yeah, yeah!
