Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
A-where those bayou's wind And them gators swim Sometime late last night A-when the moon was dim A-someone left this life Much against his will And while Gyp the Cat was alibi-in' You know his clothes were dryin'. Down on Bourbon Street Where them tourists roam Some big financier Travelin' far from home Lost his fancy watch And his wallet, too And while to his story A-Gyp was stickin' His brand new watch kept tickin'. There's a blown out safe In the city hall Standin' open wide Up against the wall And though Gyp the Cat, huh Has got a lotta dough Is the money his Or part of plunder? Gyp says, “Go and wonder.” There's a fishin' fleet Anchored in the bay Everybody knows Shrimps and oysters pay But when Gyp the Cat Was refused his share Somehow nets got cut And the take was way off ‘til Gyp got his payoff. Ahhhhh … the legend goes That they buried him But nobody knows That he had a twin And at the services Everybody cried 'ceptin' one peculiar smilin' mourner Pickin' pockets in a corner While they set his brother in the ground Get the feeling Gyp is still around.
