lyrics

Hard to know and hard to rhyme
A love like you is hard to find
Make my way back to you
Back to your bayou

All of the girls wish they were you
And all of the boys wish they were you
And all of the nuns make a funny face

You balk at the world laid before you
And cry that Catahoula bores you
With the grits and the gators my baby lies

Please oh baby don’t leave me please
I’m just a poor boy in this game

Hard to know and hard to rhyme
A love like you is hard to find
Make my way back to you
Back to your bayou

All of the girls wish they had you
And all of the boys wish they were
And all of the nuns come out to play

In the back of the clubs I’m sure to find you
With a posse that adores you
I’ll swim through the swamps just to meet you there

Please oh baby don’t leave me please
I’m just a poor boy in this game

Hard to know and hard to rhyme
A love like you is hard to find
Make my way back to you
Back to your bayou

Please oh baby don’t leave me please
I’m just a poor girl in this game
