Lyrics
Bayou Joe V1. People let me tell you bout a cajun man, born and raised down in Lousiann. He made his living with a whiskey stil. went down like water, it was known to kill. Chorus: Bayou Joe, you gotta let that whiskey go. Bayou joe, the feds are gonna get -cha you know oh oh oh Bayou Joe, you need to let yhat whiskey go. Bayou Joe, the feds are gonna get-cha you know V2. I'll tell you that ole joe was a friend of mine. I wouldn't drink his whiskey, but he'd drink my wine. I'll never forget the day the fed boys came, they hit that swamp just like a hurricane. Chorus: Bayou Joe, you gotta let that wiskey go boy, Bayou Joe, the feds are gonna get -cha you know. Bridge: They hit them woods and tore down his still, They didn't catch him then, and never will. V3. Now Joe ran out to the swamp they say, he'd take his chance and try to swim away. Alligaters waitn' all along the side. Nobody's seen Joe since that time. Chorus: Bayou Joe, you had to let the whiskey go boy, well Bayou Joe,the feds didn't get you you know. Bayou Joe, you had to let the whiskey go, Bayou Joe, the feds didn't get you though, thr feds didn't get you Joe, Bye Bye Jo.
