Baron Samedi is on your tail
Catfish pie in a gris-gris bag
I learned to capture the lightnin' shock
Raised and swam with the crocodile
Drank the blood from a rusty can
Turned me into the hunger man
I'm the lover of the bayou
Mark your doorstep with a half-wet rag
Snacked-eye taught me the moyo style
Well, I learned the key to the master lock
I'm the lover of the bayou
I learned to float in the water clock
I'm the lover of the bayou
I'm the lover of the bayou
I cooked the bat in the gumbo pan
I'm the lover of the bayou, yeah
Sucked and weaned on chicken bile
And I've got cats and teeth and hair for sale
I'm the lover of the bayou
