Big Bayou

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
 Guitar, woo!
 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
 Ow!
 Hit me
 Gotta get away
 Gotta find a way
 Gotta get a way 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
 Oh, yeah
 Woo!
 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?
