Johnny Paycheck - Bayou Bum
Well I fish all day from my boat that?s the way I make my living
I got an old greasy dog and a riverboat for my home
I?m as common as a stream-boat on the Mississippi river
Yeah I?m a bayou bum and what little bit I got is my own
Yeah I?m a bayou bum and I wouldn?t work if I could
Yeah I?m a scavenger on the river and it treats me good
Dreaming and a wishing fighting and a fishing that?s all I?ve ever done
You can do as you please but as for me I?m gonna stay a bayou bum
There ain?t a thing on the Mississippi river I ain?t seen
Yeah I fought my way from Memphis to New Orleans
Yeah I?ve had people say I?m as no good as they come
But the words don?t hurt the likes of a bayou bum
Well I?ve had many chances to marry but I?ve turned them down
Yeah I?ve left pretty little girls crying in many waterfront towns
And if I die tonight you can say I?ve had my fun
Yeah loving and living the life of a bayou bum
