The Bayou Baby Lyrics - Singles - Kathy Yolanda Rice

Verse: 

The bayou baby walking down the street all alone 

Looking in and out of windows 

Searching for home 

Cause she ain't got her own, no, no, uh, uh 

The bayou baby used to be a girl on her way 

Until she found a bitter letter 

Mama hid away 

Now baby's gone astray 

Chorus: 

No more goodbyes or lessons in the rain 

Tattered clothes and darkened eyes 

Saddened by the pain she goes down 

To the bridge outside of town 

Verse: 

The bayou baby slips into her color of youth 

But this time it feels so different 

'Cause she knows the truth 

She stares at her vermouth 

Bridge: 

Will she find him here 

Or will she find him there 

Bourbon Street where the people meet 

Or maybe Jackson Square 

Can her daddy hear her 

Is her daddy near her 

She's looking on the East side 

She's looking on the West side 

Can her daddy hear her------ 

Verse: 

New Orleans knows all the secrets 

To the beat of her heart 

And she wants to know all the answers 

Straight from the start 

Y'all the baby's torn apart 

Chorus: 

No more goodbyes or lessons in the rain 

Tattered clothes and darkened eyes 

Saddened by the pain 

She goes down 

To the bridge outside of town 

The bayou baby goes down 

To the bridge outside of town 

The bayou baby goes down 

To the bridge outside of town
