Louisiana Bayou

No, no, mamma now didn't I docey-doe

Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road

The coins on their eyes represent the money they owe

No judge or jury ever gonna hear their story told

Down by the bayou

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Say my story again-you

Louisiana Bayou

Down by the bayou

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Say my story again-you

Louisiana Bayou

Sweet girl daddy didn't put that there like he's insane

Brother can't watch him put that girl down again

'Till late one night took a knife

with a couple of friends

Swear his daddy never gonna see another day

Down by the bayou

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Say my story again-you

Louisiana Bayou

Down by the bayou

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Louisiana Bayou

No, no, mamma now didn't I docey-doe

Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road

Shame, shame

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

Money on the bed but you aint got to go

Sold your soul just tryin to get overload

No airtight pocket gonna keep ya from gettin yours

No judge or jury ever gonna hear their story told

Down by the bayou

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Say my story again-you

Louisiana Bayou

Down by the bayou

Tryin to play with the cain-you

Tryin to play with the cain-you
