Take A City Bride Lyrics - Rick Nelson

Whoa yey yay chertay bebe 

Told mama et told papa di joh dit zhay dit par bon 

I got a house on stilts a five dollar bill 

A settin' on the banks of muddy muddy bayou 

Lot better than the streets of crowded cars 

Pawn shops friendly neighborhood bars 

Ah but your mama and your papa won't let me come a courtin' 

They says I can't make a good livin' for their child 

Ah but the fish bites good the crawfish are plenty 

Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride 

[ dobro ] 

Whoa yey yay... 

I got a paint can't run your pappy's got a big dog 

Snappin' at my heels get away you mangy hound 

Light's still burning and the ladder by the window 

Take a chance gonna make another round 

Ah but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin' 

Says I can't make a good livin' for their child 

Ah but the fish bites good the crawfish are plenty 

Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride 

[ dobro ]
