Barefoot Lady - Dr. John

Mission on the bayou

Barefoot lady playing

Coming down the line

Evening on my mind

Never stay in place, came and go away

Singing:

Flesh and her desire

In and out my mind

If I can’t make her forget you

Than I can never own her

You keep getting younger

I keep feeling older

This man’s in love with you —

You better believer it lady

You have the power to drive this fool crazy

And never remain the same

Ducking through the sugar cane

Look behind you.

Woman —

Give your hand to this man…

This man’s in love with you

You know you’ve everything

Just about as bright as it can be —

I need a concentrated, controlling urge

To get a hold on that girl

I need your constant presence

To make my heart feel love

That stone’s too much

To carry all alone
