Lyrics

Down at the foot of Bayou Lafourche
There’s a street that’s filled with sinners and fools
Pass right by that Sugar Lane Drive
And dig right into that sweet shame pie
I’ve spent my share of time down that street
Just you and me sitting underneath that Ash Tree
I can say that I tried my best
Yet you cast me out just like all the rest

Didn’t need me honey
But I wanted you
Like rotten cane baby you were sweet but now your spoiled
You spend your time lately giving your sugar to other boys

Love me then throw me away who cares
Tease me then leave me with pain and despair
I did right by you woman
I gave you my all
I showed you my loving
You sucked me dry then climbed back into your hole

Down at the banks of Bayou St. John
I sit all alone my mind wondering on
I think of you are your roots growing strong?
Or are they weak and frail, will you break during the next storm?

Didn’t need me honey
But I wanted you
Like rotten cane baby you were sweet but now your spoiled
You spend your time lately giving your sugar to other boys

Love me then throw me away who cares
Tease me then leave me with pain and despair
I did right by you woman
I gave you my all
I showed you my loving
You sucked me dry then climbed back into your hole
