Lyrics

Let Me Run That Bayou
I was born on a delta mornin?
And the first thing I recall
Was the sound of a fiddle and a washboard
When I was barely three feet tall
I grew up down by the river
Where the music filled the night
And just like a gator takes to water
I knew I?d get it right

Let me run that Bayou
Let me burn up a Cajun groove
Let me lay down a squeezebox rhythm
Till your dogs can?t help but move
Cause the Bayou?s in my blood
And it just won?t let me be
I?m a soul provider; I?m a blues apostle
It?s Louisiana gospel Accordion to me

I got my own recipe for Gumbo
I got a catfish on the line
I got a still hidden out in the backwoods
Where I bottle my own moonshine
But nothin? can hold a candle
To the backbeat I got in my bones
A little Zydeco and there I go
Layin? down my funky tones
Chorus

Let me, let me, let me run that bayou
Let me run that bayou one more time (repeat)

Lyrics Chris Caswell Music John Lee Sanders
