Long Lonely Bayou

She was mine and was fine back then
I tried to say how much I’ll love her 'till the end
And there were time I couldn’t say what I wanted to
And now she’s gone and I’m a long lonely bayou
Solo
Now I’m fillin' up from the rain
The still waters are killing my veins
My heart is driftin' like an old pirogue
There’s been a time with nowhere to go
I find it hard to snake my way through the trees
I can’t even get a push from a breeze
I was a man who found a love so true
And now she’s gone and I’m a long lonely bayou
Solo
Now I’m fillin' up from the rain
The still waters are killing my veins
My heart lonely’s driftin' like an old pirogue
There’s been a time, I’ve got no place to go
I find it hard to snake my way through the trees
I can’t even find a push from a breeze
I was a man who found a love so true
And now she’s gone and I’m a long lonely bayou
And now she’s gone and I’m a long lonely bayou
