Fire On The Bayou

Fire on the bayou, fire on the bayou
Fire on the bayou, fire on the bayou

Down in New Orleans in Lucky's din
He wouldn't deal y'all for a 5th of gin
One dude wanted a bottle of wine
Hit that dude, yes, he did up for a dollar and a dime

Fire on [C7]the bayou, fire on [C7]the bayou

Take a little toke on [C7]your smoke
Buy yourself a bottle of wine
Cool, cool wine going down your throat
Don't tɾy and [Bm]tell me don't make you [A7feel fine

Fire on [C7]the bayou, fire on [C7]the bayou

I got [Fm7]a nickel now, you [A7got [Fm7]a dime
Let's get together and [Bm]have a good time
Goin' to [C7]buy a fifth, going to [C7]buy a joint
When you [A7gettin' down now, you [A7doin' things ɾight

I got [Fm7]swamp water ɾunnin' through my [A]veins
The Mississippi ɾiver can't be [Am]tamed
I pole my [A]pirogue in the middle of the night
I'm an uptown ɾuler, I can do it ɾight
