Gene Parsons  Take A City Bride  written by Gib Guilbeau

                    
Whoa yay guy, chertay bebe
                  
Told mama et told papa
                        
Di joh dit zhay dit par bon
                          
I got a house on stilts, a five dollar bill
                          
A settin' on the banks of muddy muddy bayou
                    
Lot better than the streets of crowded cars
                                  
Pawn shops, friendly neighborhood bars

Ah but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
                                             
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child

Ah but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
                                           
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
                             
I got a paint can't run, your pappy's got a big dog
                          
Snappin' at my heels, get away you mangy hound
                              
Light's still burning, and the ladder by the window
                                 
Take a chance gonna make another round

Ah but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
                                             
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child

Ah but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
                                           
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride

Yea but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
                                             
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child

Ah but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
                                           
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
