Whoa yey yay chertay bebe
|
Told mama et told papa di joh dit zhay dit par bon
|
|
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 a courtin'
|
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child
|
Ah but the fish bites good the crawfish are plenty
|
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride

|
Whoa yey yay...
|
I got a 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'
|
Says I can't make a good livin' for their child
|
Ah but the fish bites good the crawfish are plenty
|
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
