Charlie Mac and His Junk Shots: Damn-BP-laya (On the Bayou)

Lyrics

Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me o my o
Oil slick come and it's as big as Ohio.
BP says they gonna clean the mess but they lie-o
Son of a gun, oil by the ton on the bayou.

St. Bernard gonna take it hard, and that's a shame-o
Plaquemines just can't win, and who's to blame-o?
Big oil click make the little fish sick, kill the game-o
Son of a gun, they got us on the run on the bayou.

Transocean, Halliburton, BP Big Shots
On TV, tryin' to wiggle free off the hot spot
Ain't no use, cuz a good excuse is what they ain't got
Son of a gun, we could have some fun if they would get shot

St. Bernard gonna take it hard, and that's a shame-o
Plaquemines just can't win, and who's to blame-o?
Big oil click make the little fish sick, kill the game-o
Son of a gun, we ain't got no fun on the bayou

St. Bernard gonna take it hard, and that's a shame-o
Plaquemines, they just can't win, who's to blame-o?
Big oil click make the little fish sick, kill the game-o
Son of a gun, they got us on the run on the bayou.

Lyrics:

Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
[ fiddle ]
Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Settle down far from town get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie...
[ fiddle ]
Later on, swap my mon, get me a pirogue
and I'll catch all the fish on the bayou
Swap my mon, to buy Yvonne what she need-oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie...
