Barbar et al.,

Here's one I wrote about 1979 in Arkansas in frank imitation and inspired by my old friend Lucinda Williams...

LOUISIANA BOUND

I'm goin' down south where the Cajuns go
Gonna pole the pirogue on the ole bayou
Gonna find me a handsome delta boy
In old Lake Charles or Atchafalya Bayou

Gonna find me a handsome delta boy
I hear they like to laugh and dance all day
Dance a two-step or a Cajun stomp
I'm gonna do the Louisiana romp

These hillbilly boys in Arkansas
Can't play the fiddle or the ole squeeze box
They work all day and sleep all night
Saturday night they're out looking for a fight

What good is a hillbilly boy?
He jumps on a woman like a dog on a bone
He'll take you for a roll in the hay
Then he's up working the whole doggone day

He don't dance and he don't sing
I'm goin' to Monroe or maybe Pontchartrain
Gonna dance around that sparklin' lake
Eatin' Creole and dancin' with a Cajun rake

Watch out Opalousa boys
This hillbilly mama's gonna show you what
I can't teach the Arkansas boys
We'll make sweet music by a moonlit bayou
Laugh and dance and sing the whole day through

I'll roll on down through Hot Springs town
Tell Billy Clinton I'm Louisiana bound
Pack my dancin' shoes and my hillbilly tricks
Gonna show them Cajun boys some hillbilly licks

Goin' down south where the Cajuns go
Gonna pole the pirogue down the ole bayou
Find me a handsome delta boy
In old Lake Charles or Atchafalaya Bayou
In old Lake Charles or Atchafalaya Bayou

Not as profound as yours perhaps but then singing your song would be a busman's holiday for me...harpgirl
