Big Bayou

(Gib Gilbeau) I took a long, long trip to the city I was determined to get somewhere I spent all my hard earned money I had saved to put me there Big bayou where did you go To the river that`s running slow and to the Gulf of Mexico Big bayou carry me home I took a cotton picking job in Memphis And the people there treated me good But my luck run bad in Nashville I had to walked the streets of Hollywood Big bayou where did you go To the river that`s 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 did you go To the river that`s running slow into the Gulf of Mexico Big bayou carry me home Big bayou carry me home To the river that`s running slow into the Gulf of Mexico Big bayou where did you go I`m gonna catch a southbound train home one of these days
