Calilou Lyrics - The Rambler - Johnny Cash

Well I'm finally goin' back to Louisiana 

Runnin' and thumbin' all the way 

That started out way out in California 

I been makin' bout five hundred miles a day 

I covered all the beaches on the west coast 

From Mexico Crason City Bay 

But Calilou was not in California 

That's where her daddy came from by the way 

And by the way her mother was a cajun 

She came from New Orleans I've heard her say 

And it's just like a girl to wanna see her mama 

So I might find her there along the way 

Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless 

Well they should have call you drifter 

Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou

I reacall the first time that I saw her 

I picked her up near Phoenix in my car 

Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune 

And I told her if she should be a movie star 

The next time I saw her was Tucumcari 

She served my bowl of chili with a smile 

I said it's been a year since I last saw you 

Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles 

Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy 

I held her in my arms a whole night long 

I whispered words like settle down and family 

And when I woke up my Calilou was gone 

Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless 

Well they should have call you drifter 

Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou 

Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless 

Well they should have call you drifter 

Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou

[ Rambler ] 

It's a long way to New Orleans 

[ Fisherman ] 

Well I got plenty of time 

[ Rambler ] 

Me too you know it's lot of fun just seein' what the next day has to offer 

You never know what round the next bend 

[ Fisherman ] 

Or what we're gonna find either 

[ Rambler ] 

Do you know what I just wonder how long a man has to look before he finds himself 

********** 

I just got the feelin' that the fire was burnin' out 

Cause the air was turnin' colder every time you came about 

And a flame won't take a fannin' if the last reserve of love is runnin' low 

So since I've gotta button up I believe I'll hit the road and go 

Country road 6-40 state highway 45 

Life out of the interstate is very much alive 

There's magic in the mountains and music in the valleys down below 

And my song ain't through playin' yet so I believe I'll hit the road and go
