HAIL TO THE BAYOU

 

HAIL TO THE BAYOU

LORD I HEAR THOSE FIDDLES CALLING ME

THERE ON THE BAYOU

IT’S THE ONLY PLACE I WANT TO BE

 

I MISS THOSE SWEET, MAGNOLIA BLOSSOMS

AS THEY BEGIN TO BLOOM IN SPRING

AND I MISS THE WAY MY ROSIE HELD ME

IT’S A PART OF A LONESOME RAMBLER’S DREAM

 

Chorus

FOR THAT BIG CITY CALLED ME FAR AWAY

AND LED ME DOWN A ROAD THAT GOES TO NOWHERE

AND I FIND THIS CITY AINT MY KIND OF PLACE

SO I’M LEAVING, LEAVING HERE TODAY

 

GOING HOME ON THE BAYOU

LORD THAT’S WHERE MY ROSIE WAITS FOR ME

PLEASE AIRPLANE DRIVER

HURRY UP AND GET US ON OUR WAY
