Big Bayou
Well, oh yeah
I took a long, long trip to the city
I was determined to get somewhere
Spent all my hard earned money
I had to save to put me there
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Took a cotton picking job in Memphis
And the people there treated me good
But my luck ran bad in Nashville
I had to walk the streets of Hollywood
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Oh Lord, I'm going home
Where the fish jump in the air
You know I don't need a lot of money
'Cause I ain't going nowhere
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
In the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Oh
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Oh
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river that's running slow
I took a long, long trip to the city
I was determined to get somewhere
Spent all my hard earned money
I had to save to put me there
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Took a cotton picking job in Memphis
And the people there treated me good
But my luck ran bad in Nashville
I had to walk the streets of Hollywood
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Oh Lord, I'm going home
Where the fish jump in the air
You know I don't need a lot of money
'Cause I ain't going nowhere
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
In the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Oh
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Oh
Big bayou, where do you go?
To the river that's running slow
