Louisiana Bayou Lyrics - Stand Up - Dave Matthews Band

no, no, mamma now devil done do-si-do 

see two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road 

the coins in their eyes represent the money they owed 

no judge or jury ever gonna hear their story told 

down by the bayou 

tryin to play with the 'caine 

tryin to play with the 'caine 

same old story again 

down by the bayou (Louisiana Bayou) 

tryin to play with the 'caine 

tryin to play with the 'caine 

same old story again 

Louisiana Bayou 

Sweet girl daddy done beat that girl like he's insane 

Brother can't watch him beat that girl down again 

'til late one night cooking up with a couple of friends 

Swears his daddy never gonna see another day
