Gotta find a woman be good to me,
Won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea,
Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true
And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will.

 

Easy wind, going cross the Bayou today
There's a whole lotta women
Out on the streets in a red today.
And the river keep a talkin',
But you never heard a word it said.

I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fun
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

Right away I bought me a through train ticket
Ridin' 'cross Mississippi clean
And I was on the Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham
Smokin' into New Orleans


Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just help me get to Houston town
There are people there who care a little 'bout me
And they won't let the poor boy down


Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit
They put luggage in my hand
And I woke up high over Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land

Well, I was born in the Southland
Twenty-some odd years ago
Well, I left home for the first time, honey
When I was four years old

 

I'm a freeborn man

Home is on my back
I know every inch of highway
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track

Well, I'm on my way, to the city life
To a pretty face that shines her light on the city nights
And I gotta catch a noon train
Gotta be there on time
Oh, it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line

 

Swee-ee-eet, sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice, I can almost touch you
Swee-ee-eet, sweet city woman
Oh, my banjo and me, we got a feel for singin', yeah, yeah,

You gotta slow down, (slow down), sweet talkin' woman, (slow down)
You've got me runnin', (run, run), you've got me searchin'
Hold on, (hold on), sweet talkin' lover (hold on)
It's so sad if that's the way it's over
