Big Bayou Lyrics - Tonight's The Night: Live 1976-1998 - Rod Stewart

I took a long, long trip to the city 

I was determined to get somewhere 

I spent all my hard earned money 

I had saved to put me there 

Big bayou where did you go 

To the river that's running slow 

and to the Gulf of Mexico 

Big bayou carry me home 

I took a cotton picking job in Memphis 

And the people there treated me good 

But my luck run bad in Nashville 

I had to walked the streets of Hollywood

Big bayou where did you go 

To the river that's running slow 

into the Gulf of Mexico 

Big bayou carry me home 

Oh Lord I'm going home 

Where the fish jump in the air 

You know I don't need a lot of money 

Cause I ain't going nowhere 

Big bayou where did you go 

To the river that's running slow 

into the Gulf of Mexico 

Big bayou carry me home 

Big bayou carry me home 

To the river that's running slow 

into the Gulf of Mexico 

Big bayou where did you go 

I'm gonna catch a southbound 

train home one of these days
