Gene Parsons  Take A City Bride  written by Gib Guilbeau
EOh ee ayeB, je t'aime bEébé
Ton mama et ton paBpa
Toujours dit je ne suis pas Ebon
EI got a house on stilts, a B7five dollar bill
A settin' on the banks of Emuddy muddy bayou
Lot better than the B7streets of crowded cars
Pawn shops, friendly neighborhood Ebars
EAh but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
They B7says I can't make a good livin' for their Echild
EAh but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
Gonna B7make a lot of money when I take a city Ebride
EI got a paint can't run, your B7pappy's got a big dog
Snappin' at my heels, get Eaway you mangy hound
ELight's still burning, and the B7ladder by the window
Take a chance gonna make another Eround
EAh but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
They B7says I can't make a good livin' for their Echild
EAh but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
Gonna B7make a lot of money when I take a city Ebride
EYea but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
They B7says I can't make a good livin' for their Echild
EAh but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
Gonna B7make a lot of money when I take a city Ebride
