Breaux Bridge Rag

Off of the shrimp boat, boy what a day
Venice just ain’t no place to play
I guess I’m headed up Breaux Bridge way
To see my brown Angelina
I took her out to the Cajun Inn
To see Jolet, my very best friend
And we got drunk and broke up the bar
For my brown Angelina
Mama, mama … won’t you go my bail?
Sittin' on my cold, dead ass
On the floor of the Breaux Bridge jail
Mama, mama … won’t you go my bail?
Sittin' on my cold, dead ass
On the floor of the Breaux Bridge jail
The sheriff, he came in … mean as a bear
And gave me that empty, dead man’s stare
He grabbed Jolet and me by the hair
And broke up our little party
He chauffeured us in his po-lice car
With the lights a flashin' like a blood red star
And he left us sittin' here where we are
To take home brown Angelina
Mama, mama … won’t you go my bail?
Sittin' on my cold, dead ass
On the floor of the Breaux Bridge jail
Mama, mama … won’t you go my bail?
Sittin' on my cold, dead ass
On the floor of the Breaux Bridge jail
