Swampwater - Mama Lou lyrics



Night time often finds me, at B-Street and third
At a tavern, better known, as
Eddie and Flo's Golden Bird,
Where an old gold-tooth lady, with a big bamboo fan, plays piano, and sings with an old Cajun Band,

Sing the blues, Sing the blues,
Wear out your shoes, Mama Lou, Mama Lou,
In the Bayou that named you, and the hard-life that stained you,
Not a good man wants to claim you,
Sing the Blues, Mama Lou,

Through the midnight hours at the Old Golden Bird,
Mama Lou sings the blues, like a prophet,
Who's lived every word,
And smothered in blue light, and lost in her rhyme, Mama Lou, Mama Lou, she'll sing you the blues for a dime,

Sing the blues, Sing the blues,
Wear out your shoes, Mama Lou, Mama Lou,
In the Bayou that named you, and the hard-life that stained you,
Not a good man wants to claim you,
Sing the Blues, Mama Lou,

Mama Lou, Mama Lou,
Sing the blues Mama Lou,
Mama Lou, Mama Lou,
Sing the blues Mama Lou,
Mama Lou, Mama Lou,
Sing the blues Mama Lou,
