Lyrics
Buffalo Bayou
I went down to the bayou
Muddy waters were to dirty to swim
Then he went down once more
And the water looked clean to him
I’m not one to deny you
I wouldn’t let myself hold you down
When you see an open door
You hurry towards it searching the sound
Oh oh, Buffalo Bayou
I said woah oh, Buffalo bayou
One time down at the bayou
The waters seemed to rise up at us
And the rain started falling
The wind began to form into cold gusts
And I heard the lonely party
Playing the lonely party song for none to hear
But he pleased to the calling
His mind could not outthink his ear
Oh oh, Buffalo Bayou
I said woah oh, Buffalo bayou
The storm, I see it coming
And all but he is running
He’s just standing still
We lost just one brother
And I have to find another
And I pray to god I will
I went down to the bayou
Muddy waters were too dirty to swim
Yet I wanted him to come back
I admit that I went out on a limb
I tried to try you
But as I did wherethrough
You told me I wanted to deny you
The right to go down to
Oh oh, Buffalo Bayou
I said woah oh, Buffalo Bayou
I said woah oh, Buffalo Bayou
