[Verse 1]
I took a long, long trip to the city
I was determined to get somewhere
I spent all my hard earned money
I had saved to put me there
[Chorus]
Big bayou, where did you go now?
To the river that's running slow
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
[Interlude]
Guitar, woo!
[Verse 2]
I took a cotton picking job in Memphis
And the people there treated me good
But my luck run bad in Nashville
I had to walk the streets of Hollywood
[Chorus]
Big bayou, where did you go now?
To the river that's running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
I took a long, long trip to the city
I was determined to get somewhere
I spent all my hard earned money
I had saved to put me there
[Chorus]
Big bayou, where did you go now?
To the river that's running slow
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
[Interlude]
Guitar, woo!
[Verse 2]
I took a cotton picking job in Memphis
And the people there treated me good
But my luck run bad in Nashville
I had to walk the streets of Hollywood
[Chorus]
Big bayou, where did you go now?
To the river that's running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou, carry me home
