Jay Ramsey - Bayou Belle Lyrics




I used to sing and play the blues in a little old band
We got brave and we hit the road in a sixty-one van
On the side of the van was the name of the band saying, dance, show, rock n' roll
I sure learned a lot about the world

Fourteen dollars in the kitty when we hit Folger City and we headed down south
But we blew a fuel pump down the south of big swamp near a muddy river mouth

I walked on ahead 'til I heard a strange sound
Guitar playin' that was heaven worth bound
I turned toward the swamp to look around
I heard a fine lick on an old slide guitar
Then I saw a girl lay her guitar down
She started and preachin' hail fire and brimstone to a few people that had gathered around

I got close to hear another guitar break
But the pretty girl dropped a big cottonmouth snake
The people started runnin' cause they didn't have faith
But I stood my ground and I searched her face

Bayou Belle give your guitar heck
Spread a little joy with your old bottle neck
Bayou Belle give the people hell
Spread the good word before the snake bites swell

I just had to learn some guitar licks from Bayou Belle
She threw away the snake and she smiled real sweet so I stayed a little swell
I learned a lot more than a slide guitar
I learned how friendly those swamp girls are
Me and Bayou Belle had a time. I got to lose sweet Bayou Belle
She had a faith in what the good book tells
She had something else and gave me a fifth
She gave me good lovin', plus a snake bite kiss

Bayou Belle give your guitar heck
Spread a little joy with your old bottle neck
Bayou Belle give the people hell
Spread the good word before the snake bites swell

Bayou Belle give your guitar heck
Spread a little joy with your old bottle neck
Bayou Belle give the people hell
Spread the good word before the snake bites swell
