The Flying Burrito Brothers - Take A City Bride lyrics

(Guilbeau) Whoa yay guy chertay bebé Tol' mama et tol' papa di joh dit zhay dit par bon (This is phonetically correct but not sure of it's linguistic accuracy) I got a house on stilts a five dollar bill A settin' on the banks of muddy, muddy bayou Lot better than the streets of crowded cars Pawn shops friendly neighborhood bars Ah, but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin' They say that I can't make a good livin' for their child Ah, but the fish bites good and the crawfish are plenty Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride I gotta paint can't run your pappy's got a big dog Snappin' at my heels get away you mangy hound Light's still burning and the ladder by the window Take a chance gonna make another round Ah, but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin' They say that I can't make a good livin' for their child Ah, but the fish bites good and the crawfish are plenty Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride Yeah, but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin' They say that I can't make a good livin' for their child Ah, but the fish bites good and the crawfish are plenty Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride Yeah, I'll make a lot of money when I take a city bride
