No no, momma now devil don't do-si-do
Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road
And the coins in their eyes represent the money they owe
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told
Down by the bayou
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Say my story again-you
(Louisiana)
Down by the bayou
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Say my story again-you
Louisiana bayou
Sweet girl, daddy done beat that girl like he's insane
Brother can't watch him beat that girl down again
So late one night cookin' up with a couple of friends
Swears his daddy never gonna see another day
Down by the bayou
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Say my story again-you

No no, momma, God an' devil done do-si-do
See two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road
Shame shame
Oh it's a shame to lose your way running wild
It's a shame to lose your light shine
(Shame shame)
And it's a shame to lose your way as a child
Oh it's a shame to lose your
Money on the bed but you ain't got to go
Sold your soul just trying to get over low
No empty pocket gonna keep you from getting yours
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told
Down by the bayou
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Tryin' to play with the caine-you
Same old story again-you
