Long Lonely Bayou - Tab Benoit

She was mine and was fine back then

I tried to say how much I’ll love her 'till the end

And there were time I couldn’t say what I wanted to

And now she’s gone and I’m a long lonely bayou

Solo

Now I’m fillin' up from the rain

The still waters are killing my veins

My heart is driftin' like an old pirogue

There’s been a time with nowhere to go

I find it hard to snake my way through the trees

I can’t even get a push from a breeze

I was a man who found a love so true

And now she’s gone and I’m a long lonely bayou

Solo

Now I’m fillin' up from the rain

The still waters are killing my veins

My heart lonely’s driftin' like an old pirogue

There’s been a time, I’ve got no place to go

I find it hard to snake my way through the trees

I can’t even find a push from a breeze

I was a man who found a love so true

And now she’s gone and I’m a long lonely bayou

And now she’s gone and I’m a long lonely bayou
