Take A City Bride

(альбом: Live From Europe - 1986)

Whoa yay guy chertay bebé
Tol' mama et tol' papa
Di joh dit zhay dit par bon

I got a house on stilts a five dollar bill
A setting 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 courting
They say that I can't make a good living for their child
Ah, but the fish bites good and the crawfish are plenty
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride

I gotta paint can't run your pappy's got a big dog
Snapping 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 courting
They say that I can't make a good living for their child
Ah, but the fish bites good and the crawfish are plenty
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride

Yeah, but your mama and your papa won't let me come courting
They say that I can't make a good living for their child
Ah, but the fish bites good and the crawfish are plenty
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
Yeah, I'll make a lot of money when I take a city bride
