Lyrics The King Of Zydeco - Rory Gallagher

The King Of Zydeco

Well, it’s a straight line as the crow flies
To a heaven here on earth
And if you make time, it’s a cool drive
Head down to the coast
If your taste runs to the gumbo
Don’t know where to go?
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco
If your head leaks like a strainer
The sea comes to your door
A strange sound from the juke-joint
A mile just down the road
Believe it when you hear it
The sound of the rubbing board
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco
Yeahh.
Move it over
Open up that lane
Roll it over
Buddy, I’m insane
You won’t feel like a stranger
You’ve found a second home
You can get out of your tree there
When that music hits your soul
Bye-bye Big Brother
'Cause I’m going away
I wanna listen to the man
They call Clifton Chenier
Feel like a statistic
Feeling shrink-wrapped too
It’s fun-time baby
You’ve been too long in school
Head down to the place
Near to Thibodaux
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco
Move that semi
Buddy, I’m insane
It’s now or never
I can’t touch the brakes
Well, it’s a stone’s throw from the Bayou
And I can see the sign
Shining like a beacon
Right on through the night
No more airs and graces
Gotta catch the show
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco
