(Roger McGuinn and Jacques Levy)  Catfish pie in a 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  Snacked-eye taught me the moyo style  Sucked and weaned on chicken bile  I'm the lover of the bayou Yeah!  Instrumental (Electric Guitar)  Well, I learned the key to the master lock  I learned to float in the water clock  I learned to capture the lightnin' shock  I'm the lover of the bayou  And I've got cats and teeth and hair for sale  I'm the lover of the bayou  Baron Samedi is on your tail  I'm the lover of the bayou  I cooked the bat in the gumbo pan  Drank the blood from a rusty can  Turned me into the hunger man  I'm the lover of the bayou Yeah!  © BMI
