'LOUSIANA BAYOU MAN'__
by Gerald Duane 'Bubba' Ulmer
I live back in the bayou, ~
Where the alligators grow so mean!
Living off the land'... ~
Anyway I can!
I'M JUST A LOUSIANA BAYOU MAN!
I only go to town, ~
For the things that the swamp don't provide!
Flour, sugar, salt and coffee...
Then back in the swamp I hide!
I'm a Louisiana Bayou Man'
Just doing' the best I can! ...
***BRIDGE***
I've got a mean Cajon woman, ~
Who makes those gators all look tame!
Loving, drinking, or fighting, ~
To her it's all the same! ...
She's my swamp rat, 'Wildcat'...~
And she'll never be tamed!
But when it comes to her bayou man, ~
She gives it everything! ...
***BRIDGE***
I'm just a bayou man... ~
Living off the land!
I'm just a Bayou man, ~
Living anyway I can...
I buy the things the land don't provide...
Then, back in the swamp I hide! (fade out)
