Lyrics:
Bye Bye Bayou
I know a woman who’s settling in her skin
sitting on a hard rock waiting to begin
to go with the flow watch the tide ebb and flow.
It’ll take a little time for vacation to let her go slow.
Meanwhile bye bye Bayou under flood.
Bye bye Bayou water and mud.
Bye bye Bayou the levee broke.
Bye bye Bayou money’s no joke.
What do the poor folk have to do
To live like me and live like you?
Meanwhile I know a man.
He knows what’s wrong.
Been running in circles too fast and too long.
He’s got to go with the flow
watch the tide come and go.
It’ll take a little time for vacation to let him go slow.
Meanwhile bye bye Bayou the poor hang on.
Bye bye Bayou the rich are gone.
Bye bye Bayou something’s wrong.
Bye bye Bayou with this song.
What do the rich folk have to do
to die like me and die like you?
Bye bye Bayou see you next year.
Bye bye Bayou I shed some tears.
Bye bye Bayou we mourn the dead, bye bye Bayou change the world instead.
What do the poor folk have to do to live like me and live like you?
What do the rich folk have to do to die like me and die like you?
What do the poor folk have to do to live and die like me and you?
to live and die like me and you, to live and die like me and you,
me and you, me and you me and you, me and you?

Bye Bye Bayou
I know a woman who’ll settle in her skin sitting on a hard rock waiting to begin
To go with the flow watch the tide ebb and flow
It’ll take a little time for vacation to let her go slow.
Meanwhile bye bye Bayou under flood bye bye Bayou water and mud
Bye bye Bayou the levee broke bye bye Bayou money’s no joke.
What do the poor folk have to do to live like me and live like you?
Meanwhile I know a man he knows what’s wrong
Been running in circles too fast and too long.
He’s got to go with the flow watch the tide come and go.
It’ll take a little time for vacation to let him go slow.
Meanwhile bye bye Bayou the poor hang on, bye bye Bayou the rich are gone.
Bye bye Bayou something’s wrong, bye bye Bayou with this song.
What do the rich folk have to do to die like me and die like you?
Meanwhile…
Instrumental
Meanwhile…
Bye bye Bayou see you next year bye bye Bayou I shed some tears
Bye bye Bayou we mourn the dead.
Bye bye Bayou change the world instead.
What do the poor folk have to do
to live like me and live like you?
What do the rich folk have to do
to die like me and die like you?
What do the poor folk have to do
to live and die like me and you?
To live and die like me and you?
To live and die like me and you?
me and you?
me and you?
me and you?
