Thibodaux Lyrics - Moonlighter - Claire Lynch

THIBODAUX 

Written by Chris Stuart 

Recorded by Claire Lynch on "Moonlighter", 1995 

Rounder Records 

Young doctor in a straight back chair 

Talkin' about me like I'm not there 

Tell my mama I just can't stop 

Say my elevator don't go to the top 

Oh doctor but I've got a plan 

If I make it to Louisian' 

'Cause I know a Creole boy who makes it easy as a 

un and a deux and a trois 

I'm goin' down to the blue bayou 

Change my name to Thibodaux 

And when they play that Fais Do Do 

Dance all night if ya dance real slow 

Drop a line in the Pontchartrain 

Swim with the crawdad and the crane 

And when they find me out in the rain 

Be sure and tell 'em Thibodaux's my name 

Well a poor man wants what a rich man's got 

But all I want is a crawfish pot 

A bucket of bait and a foldin' chair 

And the kind of lovin' that you get down there 

Mon cherie, won't you go my way 

Where the fiddle and accordion play 

And we'll write a Cajun song that gets 'em movin' with a 

un and a deux and a trois 

I'm goin' down to the blue bayou 

Change my name to Thibodaux 

And when they play that Fais Do Do 

Dance all night if ya dance real slow 

Drop a line in the Pontchartrain 

Swim with the crawdad and the crane 

And when they find me out in the rain 

Be sure and tell 'em Thibodaux's my name
