Queen of the Bayou - Julian Dawson[00:00:00]
This town came alive[00:00:05]
On the day she arrived[00:00:07]
She was nothing like we'd ever seen[00:00:09]
Her suitcase was battered[00:00:15]
Her clothes a little tattered[00:00:17]
And torn but she moved like a queen[00:00:19]
And word soon got round[00:00:24]
To the boys in town[00:00:26]
They gathered like moths to a flame[00:00:29]
When she stepped on the stage[00:00:34]
Of the rainy night grill[00:00:36]
I knew the town would never[00:00:38]
Be quite the same[00:00:40]
She was queen of the bayou[00:00:43]
From Chauvin to Mamoo[00:00:46]
Every town has a story to tell[00:00:48]
And you won't find a man[00:00:53]
In South Lousian' would deny[00:00:55]
He's been under her spell[00:00:59]
She took the best room[00:01:03]
At the Empire hotel[00:01:04]
They called the Napoleon suite[00:01:07]
And she'd lay there for hours[00:01:12]
Among mountains of flowers[00:01:14]
And jewels love laid at her feet[00:01:17]
And when evening came down[00:01:22]
She'd parade through the town[00:01:24]
The crowds were a sight to be seen[00:01:27]
Just a smile and a wave[00:01:31]
And she'd make you her slave[00:01:33]
It's no wonder[00:01:36]
We called her the queen[00:01:37]
She was queen of the bayou[00:01:41]
From Mamoo to Thibodeaux[00:01:43]
She captured each Parish and town[00:01:46]
And she shined every city[00:01:50]
On the old Mississippi[00:01:53]
Till they gleamed[00:01:55]
Like the jewels in her crown[00:01:56]
It didn't take long[00:02:03]
To see something was wrong[00:02:04]
We could tell[00:02:07]
She was restless again[00:02:08]
She'd wrecked all the lives[00:02:12]
Of the sweethearts and wives[00:02:14]
And ruined the hearts of their men[00:02:17]
She checked in her keys[00:02:22]
And she left us the breeze[00:02:24]
And nothing but memories to keep[00:02:27]
On the day she left town[00:02:31]
The clocks all slowed down[00:02:34]
And the town simply went back to sleep[00:02:36]
She was queen of the bayou[00:02:43]
From Chauvin to Mamoo[00:02:46]
Every town has a story to tell[00:02:48]
And you won't find a man[00:02:53]
In South Lousian' would deny[00:02:55]
He's been under her spell[00:02:59]
She was queen of the bayou[00:03:02]
From Mamoo to Thibodeaux[00:03:05]
She captured each Parish and town[00:03:07]
And she shined every city[00:03:12]
On the old Mississippi[00:03:14]
Till they gleamed[00:03:17]
Like the jewels in her crown[00:03:18]
And she shined every city[00:03:22]
On the old Mississippi[00:03:24]
Till they gleamed[00:03:26]
Like the jewels in her crown[00:03:28]
