| Once upon a time in the Bayou
|
| I was shakin' up in New Orleans
|
| Some old man in a garbage can
|
| turned to me and spilled the beans
|
| Said: Pay no mind to my condition
|
| I’ve seen the world far and wide
|
| They got treasures here, they got treasures there
|
| I carry mine around inside
|
| Wherever you go, wherever you go
|
| You gotta let that Lovelight burn wherever you go
|
| Wherever you go, wherever you go
|
| You gotta let that Lovelight burn wherever you go
|
| I caught a train up to Memphis
|
| Mississippi on my side
|
| Preacher man with a southern tan
|
| Started getting sanctified
|
| Said: A man like me in my position
|
| Knows about the golden rule
|
| I gave away my possessions
|
| And my heart is my only jewel
|
| What ya gonna do on the days when the tide is low
|
| How you gonna feel in the cold when the four winds blow
|
| How will you react when the cracks in your armour grow, grow, grow
|
| Let that Lovelight show
|
| When I got home it was winter
|
| And people out there shovelin' snow
|
| But I’m not down that I’m back in town
|
| I just called to let you know |
