Rod Stewart – Big Bayou Lyric

aus dem Album A Night On The Town

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 into the Gulf of Mexico.

Big bayou, carry me home.

Guitar!

Oooh!

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 walk 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.

Ooh!

Boogie!

Got to get away, got to fly away, got to get away home.

Oh yeah!

Oh yeah!

Oh yeah!

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.

Back home, oh yeah!

Oooh!

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?

Well, I'm gonna catch a southbound train home one of these days.

Oooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go home!
