[Verse 1]
A long, long trip to the city
I was determined to get somewhere
But I spent all my hard earned money
I had to get on there

[Chorus]
Big bayou, where did you go
When the river is overflowed?
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
Hit it

[Verse 2]
Oh Lord, I don't need a lot of money
I bought the get on to get somewhere
But my luck run bad in Nashville
I had to walk the streets of Hollywood

[Chorus]
Big bayou, where did you go
When the river is running slow?
Into to the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home

[Interlude]
Hit it
Well
Boogie
Hit it
Yeah!
[Verse 3]
Oh Lord, I'm going home
Where the fish jump in the air
You know I don't need a lot of money
I'm determined to get somewhere

[Chorus]
Big bayou, where did you go
When the river is underflowed?
Into to the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home

[Interlude]
Boogie
Hit it!

[Chorus]
Big bayou, carry me home
To the river that's overflowed
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
One more
Big bayou, carry me home
To the river that's overflowed
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, where did you go?
[Outro]
Yeah
Aw yeah
Well yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah
Ow!
Woo!
