Mark Batson - Louisiana Bayou lyrics

[Verse 1] "No, no" mama cried, devil they dosido Two young boys lying dead by the side of the road The coins on their eyes represent the money they owe No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told [Chorus 1][x2] Down by the bayou Trying to play with the cane Trying to play with the cane Same story again Down by the bayou (Louisiana bayou) [Verse 2] Sweet girl daddy done beat that girl like he's insane Brother can't watch him beat that girl down again So, late one night cooking up with a couple of friends Swears his daddy's never gonna see another day [Chorus 1][x2] [Chorus 2] No, no mama cried devil they dosido See two young boys lying dead by the side of the road [Chorus 3] It's a damn shame It's a shame to lose your way running wild It's a shame to lose the light that shines on you It's a shame to lose your way as a child It's a shame, it's a damn shame [Verse 3] Money on the bed, but you ain't got to go Sold your soul just trying to get overload No empty pocket gonna keep you from getting yours No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told [Chorus 1][x2] [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1][x2] [Chorus 3]
