Key: A Intro: A | A | A | A : Verse 1: A Just another Louisiana mornin', Bayou rain fallin' without warnin' D Babies cryin' A The window's dirty, I can't see out it A Sittin' smokin' thinkin' about it D A Lord I'm so tired (so tired) so tired Verse 2: E And I've workin' in the long cold night G D A Too tired to sleep and too hungry to fi-i-ight (so tired) E Workin' for the man hard as I can G D A Tryin' to make a livin' in this Bayou la-a-and (so tired)
Chorus: G D A Good Lord what kinda life is this for my baby? G D A Bad enough I gotta suffer it myself G D A Take our love, take us from this Bayou country C D A C D A A Let the bayou bums starve by themselves (hoo-hoo-hoo) Verse 3: A Just another Louisiana afternoon, drinkin' homemade liquor two ounce D Smooth 'till ya hangin' A Don't talk much, 'coz the man's crazy D Times are hard, thangs are hazy D A A Lord, I'm so tired (mmh) Verse 4: E To make it in this town you gotta work all over G D A When I get home, I start a-all over (got to start all over) E Half dead by the end of the night G D A But it's what I gotta do to give my man a good li-i-ife Chorus: G D A Good Lord what kinda life is this for my baby G D A It's bad enough I gotta suffer it myself G D A Take our love, take us from this Bayou country C D A Let the bayou bums starve by themselves End: C D A A Let the bayou bums drink themselves to hell
