"Bayou Mama" lyrics

Delta Sun beating down on me
Hanging low like a willow tree
Pity a man got to work this way
Friday evening better gimme my pay

Well I know what I'm what I'm gonna do
We both know that it's true
Have my gris gris with me
Having juju with you

Come on and dance with me pretty mama
You ain't got a thing to lose
We ain't got to work tomorrow
I just got to sing these blues
Come and wrap me around your finger
Take me to the Mardi Gras
Come on Bayou Mama love me just a little bit more

My girl crazy bout the second line
Shake that boogie just a right on time
She got a way that's tried and true
We gonna paint this whole town blue

When Sunday rolls around
We're in each other's arms
Let em blow that whistle

We don't need no good luck charm

Come on and dance with me pretty mama
You ain't got a thing to lose
We ain't got to work tomorrow
I just got to sing these blues
Come and wrap me around your finger
Take me to the Mardi Gras
Come on Bayou Mama love me just a little bit more

Music drifting on a southern breeze
Makes one sweet melody
I close my eyes and all I see
Is your pretty little face looking up at me

Music drifting on a southern breeze
Makes one sweet melody
I close my eyes and all I see
Is your pretty little face looking up at me

Come on and dance with me pretty mama
You ain't got a thing to lose
We ain't got to work tomorrow
I just got to sing these blues
Come and wrap me around your finger
Take me to the Mardi Gras
Come on Bayou Mama gimme me just a little bit
