The Meters - Fire On The Bayou lyrics

Fire on the bayou Fire on the bayou Fire on the bayou Fire on the bayou Down in New Orleans, in Lucky's din He wouldn't deal y'all for a 5th of gin One dude wanted a bottle of wine Hit that dude yes he did up for a dollar and a dime Fire on the bayou Fire on the bayou Take a little toke on your smoke Buy yourself a bottle of wine Cool, cool wine going down your throat Don't try and tell me don't make you feel fine Fire on the bayou Fire on the bayou I got a nickel now, you got a dime Let's get together and have a good time Goin' to buy a fifth, going to buy a joint when you gettin' down now, you doin' things right" "I got swamp water runnin' through my veins The Mississippi River can't be tamed I pole my pirogue in the middle of the night I'm an uptown ruler, I can do it right"
