01- Bayou Baby

He was born in a river town
30 miles north of the mouth
Where the River meets the sea converging in the sound
in his home it was Etta James
Bobby Dylan and Marvin Gaye
the first that he ever sang
Was I fly Away

And he sang it for the sinners on a Friday Night
And he sang it for the righteous on
Sunday Morning

He sets my soul on fire like revival
Love is the name of his faith
He takes me to church
Every night without a Bible
I’m just a sinner
Come and save me
Your love delivers me
Bayou Baby

He left home he was seventeen
He hitched a ride to New Orleans
With twenty dollars that his mama gave him and his daddy old guitar
He played down by the River side
The locals loved him and the tourists cried
Cause he touched them deep inside
Like they never felt before

And he played it for the wicked on a Saturday night
And he played it for the Saints on Sunday morning

He sets my soul on fire like revival
Love is the name of his faith
He takes me to church
Every night without a Bible
I’m just a sinner
Come and save me
Your love delivers me
Bayou Baby
