Lyrics
GUMBO LOVE
Verse:
When the musk is hangin? heavy, with the Atchafalaya heat
A good woman an a file? gumbo make a Cajun?s life so sweet
Take a pirogue down the bayou, catch a mullet and a big blue crab
Don?t measure what goes in the cookin? pot ?cause cookin? aint done in no lab
Chorus:
I SAID YEA, WHEN IT FEELS RIGHT
THROW IN A LITLE OF THIS AND A LITTLE OF THAT
?CAUSE GUMBO LOVE, MAKE A CAJUN?S BLUES GO SKAT
verse 2:
An Atchafalaya woman, she do more than cook and sew
She know what it takes to please her man, took lessons from Marie LaVeaux
Sends her babies to her sisters when the moon and stars are right
She be a lady in the daylight hours, she?s an animal at night
Repeat Chorus, first verse, & last phrase of last line of chorus for a coda.
