Kathy Yolanda Rice - The Bayou Baby lyrics

Verse: The bayou baby walking down the street all alone Looking in and out of windows Searching for home Cause she ain't got her own, no, no, uh, uh The bayou baby used to be a girl on her way Until she found a bitter letter Mama hid away Now baby's gone astray Chorus: No more goodbyes or lessons in the rain Tattered clothes and darkened eyes Saddened by the pain she goes down To the bridge outside of town Verse: The bayou baby slips into her color of youth But this time it feels so different Â??Cause she knows the truth She stares at her vermouth Bridge: Will she find him here Or will she find him there Bourbon Street where the people meet Or maybe Jackson Square Can her daddy hear her Is her daddy near her She's looking on the East side She's looking on the West side Can her daddy hear her------ Verse: New Orleans knows all the secrets To the beat of her heart And she wants to know all the answers Straight from the start Y'all the baby's torn apart Chorus: No more goodbyes or lessons in the rain Tattered clothes and darkened eyes Saddened by the pain She goes down To the bridge outside of town The bayou baby goes down To the bridge outside of town The bayou baby goes down To the bridge outside of town
