Bayou Blues

Wanna talk about sorrow Wanna talk about sin Where the heat is hell But the pleasure is heaven Come on down to the bayou Where the river's made of mud Down in the bayou Where I lost my love Come on down to the bayou Where the river's so wide Down in the bayou You gonna hear dem babies cryin' Say down in the bayou Where the river is long Freedom Oh Freedom Freedom's my song You wanna see something evil Wanna see the devil's grin Down in NOLA Sippin' on gin Wanna live free and easy Live life without time Work all day long Like to break your spine Well I heard people shouting I heard shame on the wind A reckoning is a-coming Like the changing winds Freedom Oh freedom Wanna talk about sorrow Wanna talk about sin Where the heat is hell But the pleasure is heaven Come down to the bayou Where the river's made of mud Down in the bayou Where I lost my love Come on down to the bayou Where the river's so wide Down in the bayou You gonna hear dem babies cryin' Say down in the bayou Where the river is long Freedom Oh Freedom Freedom in my song
