Do Right Bayou |
When the man in the hobnail boots asked me what war was going on I didn’t have the heart to tell him that peace had just begun |
He didn’t believe he said do or die |
I couldn’t deceive and so I said goodbye |
Got a friend with a silver lady shows me many ways to laugh |
It’s a one-way love affair but she shines in his photographs |
He don’t like a crowd but don’t get him wrong |
He does his thinking aloud he makes it up as he goes along |
I want to do right by you but you mustn’t do wrong by me Sitting in a lonely room with a friend with lots to tell |
He doesn’t ask me for advice but then I’ve got nothing to sell |
We trade in a joke we’ve got nothing to hide |
We’re just simple folk it makes me feel good inside |
I want to do right by you but you mustn’t do wrong by me So when we’re having our last meal and I ask you for a light |
Don’t get me wrong because the last thing that I want is for us to fight |
So get back to school and I’ll do the same |
But don’t play the fool and we’ll both win this game |
I want to do right by you but you mustn’t do wrong by me |
