| 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 |
