Blue Bayou

I went walkin' By the blue bayou And I saw the sun go down. I thought about Old Greeley And I thought about Lou And I saw the sun go down. White man Makes me work all day And I work too hard For too little pay - Then a white man Takes my woman away. I'll kill Old Greeley. The blue bayou Turns red as a fire Put the black man On a rope And pull him higher I saw the sun go down. Put him on the rope And pull him higher! The blue bayou's A pool of fire. And I saw the sun go down, Down, Down, Lawd, I saw the sun go down!
