Lyrics Big Bayou - Ronnie Wood

Big Bayou

I took a long, long trip to the city
I was determined to get somewhere
I spent all my hard earned money
I had saved to put me there
Big bayou where did you go
To the river that’s running slow
And to the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou carry me home
I took a cotton picking job in Memphis
And the people there treated me good
But my luck run bad in Nashville
I had to walked the streets of Hollywood
Big bayou where did you go
To the river that’s running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou carry me home
Gotta get away
Gotta find a way
Gotta get away home
Oh Lord I’m going home
Where the fish jump in the air
You know I don’t need a lot of money
Cause I ain’t going nowhere
Big bayou where did you go
To the river that’s running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou carry me home
Big bayou carry me home
To the river that’s running slow
Into the Gulf of Mexico
Big bayou where did you go
I’m gonna catch a southbound
Train home one of these days
