Hebert Island - William Clark Green

When it’s dry I take the road

When the water’s high I take a boat

Paradise with fishin' poles

A pair o' dice and dominos

A piece o' land a man can find

Piece of mind in a patch of pines

Just inside that Texas line

Livin' on Louisiana time

On Hebert Island

Down in Dixie

Jambalaya

And beer and whiskey

City folk

They don’t go

'Cause they don’t know

How to fais-do-do

Yeah that’s for sure

When that storm blows in we headed for the highland

We’re from Hebert Island

Red-tailed duck wrapped in tinfoil

Catfish fryin' in peanut oil

Check the traps 'fore the crawfish boil

Tambourine on a tail of a Labrador

We gon' light the fire

Catch a buzz

Talkin' trash

Just because

No girlfriends to bother us

It’s the he man woman haters club

On Hebert Island

Down in Dixie

Jambalaya

And beer and whiskey

City folk

They don’t go

'Cause they don’t know

How to fais-do-do

Yeah that’s for sure

When that storm blows in we headed for the highland

We’re from Hebert Island

We’re from Hebert Island (Hebert Island)

We’re from Hebert Island (Hebert Island)

We’re from Hebert Island (Hebert Island)

We’re from Hebert Island (Hebert Island)

We’re from Hebert Island (Hebert Island)

We’re from Hebert Island

We’re from Hebert Island

Down in Dixie

Jambalaya

And beer and whiskey

City folk

They don’t go

'Cause they don’t know

How to fais-do-do

Yeah that’s for sure

When that storm blows in we headed for the highland

We’re from Hebert Island
