Lyr. Add: MAMA LOU
Words and music by Larry Murray
Night time often finds me down at B Street and Third,
In a tavern better known as Eddie and Flo's "Golden Bird."
There an old gold toothed lady with a big bamboo fan,
She plays her piano and sings with an old Cajun band.
Chorus-
Sing the blues, ooh de oh oohs,
Where are your shoes, Mama Lou, Mama Lou?
In the bayous they named you, a hard life has claimed you.
Not a good man is gonna tame you.
Sing the blues, sing the blues, Mama Lou.
In the midnight hour at the old Golden Bird,
Mama Lou sings the blues like a prophet who's lived every word.
Smothered in blue lights and lost in her rhyme,
Mama Lou, Mama Lou, will sing you the blues for a dime.
Chorus-
