Lafayette - Michelle Malone

The French Broad River runs long and deep down from the black mountain snow And

every time that I get down hearted that s where my mind will go

Just a running deep and slow like I m rocking away in your loving arms

You can sweet-talk me when you do your duty, but please don t you do no harm

Lafayette, don t ya make me beg

S il vous plais, I ll be your rocking chair, I ll be your guitar — play me

Baby, let me follow you down to the river and drink

Well, I have been all around the world from Amsterdam to Asheville

But I never thought that I d give up my freedom til I got tied up in the Delta

I said no to the devil, but he paid no mind, Hallelujah, honey, you re the

loving kind

If I had my way I d keep your angel wings wrapped down around my thigh

Singing Lafayette, don t ya make me beg

S il vous plais, I ll be your rocking chair, I ll be your guitar — play me

Baby, let me follow you down to the river and drink

Baby, let me follow you down to the river and drink

Lafayette, don t ya make me beg

S il vous plais, I ll be your hand me down, I ll be your blue jean baby

Oh, Lafayette, don t ya go just yet

I ll be your Juliette, c mon let s stop talking
