Big Bayou Lyrics by Rod Stewart

Big Bayou

[gib gilbeau]

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

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 walked 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

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

Big bayou carry me home
To the river thats running slow
Into the gulf of mexico
Big bayou where did you go

Im gonna catch a southbound
Train home one of these days
