Louisiana Bayou

[Verse 1]

"No, no" mama cried, devil they dosido

Two young boys lying dead by the side of the road

The coins on their eyes represent the money they owe

No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told

[Chorus 1][x2]

Down by the bayou

Trying to play with the cane

Trying to play with the cane

Same story again

Down by the bayou (Louisiana bayou)

[Verse 2]

Sweet girl daddy done beat that girl like he's insane

Brother can't watch him beat that girl down again

So, late one night cooking up with a couple of friends

Swears his daddy's never gonna see another day

[Chorus 1][x2]

[Chorus 2]

No, no mama cried devil they dosido

See two young boys lying dead by the side of the road

[Chorus 3]

It's a damn shame

It's a shame to lose your way running wild

It's a shame to lose the light that shines on you

It's a shame to lose your way as a child

It's a shame, it's a damn shame

[Verse 3]

Money on the bed, but you ain't got to go

Sold your soul just trying to get overload

No empty pocket gonna keep you from getting yours

No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told

[Chorus 1][x2]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1][x2]

[Chorus 3]
