Lover of the Bayou

McGuinn, Clark & Hillman were an American rock group consisting of Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, and Chris Hillman, who were all former members of the band the Byrds. The group formed in 1977 and was partly modeled after Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and, to a lesser extent, the Eagles.

Catfish pie in gris gris bag 
I'm the lover of the bayou 
Mark your doorstep with a half wet rag 
I'm the lover of the bayou 
Raised and swam with the crocodile 
Snake-eye taught me the Mojo style 
Sucking weed on chicken bile 
I'm the lover of the bayou 

I learned the key to the master look 
I learned to float in the water clock 
I learned to capture the lightning shock 
I'm the lover of the bayou 
And I got cat's an' teeth and hair for sale 
I'm the lover of the bayou 
Look out, look out, Baron Zombies on your tail 
I'm the lover of the bayou 

I cooked the bat in the gumbo pan 
I drank the blood, drank the blood from a rusty can 
Turned me into the Honga man 
I'm the lover of the bayou
