Big Bayou - Ronnie Wood

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

Big bayou where did you go

To the river that’s running slow

And to the Gulf of Mexico

Big bayou carry me home

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 walked the streets of Hollywood

Big bayou where did you go

To the river that’s running slow

Into the Gulf of Mexico

Big bayou carry me home

Gotta get away

Gotta find a way

Gotta get away home

Oh Lord I’m going home

Where the fish jump in the air

You know I don’t need a lot of money

Cause I ain’t going nowhere

Big bayou where did you go

To the river that’s running slow

Into the Gulf of Mexico

Big bayou carry me home

Big bayou carry me home

To the river that’s running slow

Into the Gulf of Mexico

Big bayou where did you go

I’m gonna catch a southbound

Train home one of these days
