Grits - Bayou country lyrics

I was born in Louisiana on the bayou manchac Papa was a trapper from napoleonville Mama was a dark eyed Cajun woman If I'd listened to my mama I'd be there still Took my schoolin down in Morgan city Used to go to dances in abbeyville Fell in love with a lady from New Orleans Hadn't been for her I'd be there still Want my, bayou country Smell of magnolias bring you to your knees Fais do dos and Cajun women Spanish moss hangin from the big oak trees Travelled back and forth across this country Met a lot of people and I made a lot of friends Got the feelin of the swamp land runnin in my blood Goin back home but I don't know when California's boilin detroits burnin Whole lot of trouble in Chicago town Nothin very pretty bout New York City Mississippi take me back to higher ground Well I gotta get back to the bayou country Smell of magnolias bring you to your knees Fais do dos and Cajun women Spanish moss hangin from the big oak trees Want my, bayou country!
