One Foot In The Bayou - Tab Benoit, Louisiana's Leroux

Diamond Rings, Limosines

Down home girl, Uptown dreams

Penthouse suites, Broadway shows

They just don’t move her like zydeco

She’s goin up to the city, she don’t know what to do

She’s got one foot in New York City and one foot in the bayou

Taxi cabs, traffic jams

Sure do miss her candied yams

She packed her bags, you shoulda seen

That big suitcase full of turnip greens

She’s goin up to the city, still got mud on her shoes

She’s got one foot in New York City and one foot in the bayou

If she’s gone I wish her well

She might come home you just can’t tell

But if she runs out of luck, I’ll drive right up and get her in my truck

She’s goin up to the city, she don’t know what to do

She was born and raised in Morgan City, still got mud on her shoes

She got one foot in New York, One foot in the bayou

If she’s gone I wish her well

She might come home you just can’t tell

But if she runs out of of luck, I’m gonna drive right up and get her in my truck

She’s goin up to the city, she don’t know what to do

She was born and raised in Morgan City, still got mud on her shoes

She got one foot in New York yall, One foot in the bayou

Yea, she’s got one foot in New York City, one foot in the bayou

She’s got one foot in New York City, one foot in the Bayou
