Hey Hey-a Bayou Lena

Ain't she a beautiful girl

C'mon take it up to New Orleans

And drink a bottle of cheap red wine

Well, she walked in to the room wearing a gator skin suit

Barfly's slack jaws droppin' to the floor

With the grease on her fingers and lipstick on her toes

When the lights turned red, she began to take it off


    A5                           E5
She dances in the corner makin' minimum wage
               A5                      B5
Back home with seven hungry mouths to feed


C5                  E5
   Hey Hey-a Bayou Lena

Ain't she a beautiful girl

C'mon and take it up to New Orleans

And drink a bottle of cheap red wine

She likes to shimmy in the shadows 'til the brink of day

Cockfight pretty woman that I love

With a pissed off disposition and a shit eatin' grin

With a smile on her face she looks you in the eye


A5                             E5
Dangling in the corner makin' minimum wage
               A5                      B5
Back home with seven hungry mouths to feed

Well now, there's blood sittin' on the barstool

You know she's looking for Ms. Lana Lee

Yeah, spinnin' wheel spinnin' on the liquor machine
                 F5   C5         G5
Sayin' what goes up, must come down
                 E5
With this little southern show in a gator skin suit

Jailbird vagrants stompin' to the floor

Mixin' drinks with muddy water and kitchen cigarettes

At the night of joy, what a night of joy


A5                           E5
Dances in the corner makin' minimum wage
               A5                      B5
Back home with seven hungry mouths to feed

Ain't it a beautiful world

It's still a beautiful world

It's still a beautiful world
