The King Of Zydeco - Rory Gallagher

Well, it’s a straight line as the crow flies

To a heaven here on earth

And if you make time, it’s a cool drive

Head down to the coast

If your taste runs to the gumbo

Don’t know where to go?

Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco

If your head leaks like a strainer

The sea comes to your door

A strange sound from the juke-joint

A mile just down the road

Believe it when you hear it

The sound of the rubbing board

Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco

Yeahh.

Move it over

Open up that lane

Roll it over

Buddy, I’m insane

You won’t feel like a stranger

You’ve found a second home

You can get out of your tree there

When that music hits your soul

Bye-bye Big Brother

'Cause I’m going away

I wanna listen to the man

They call Clifton Chenier

Feel like a statistic

Feeling shrink-wrapped too

It’s fun-time baby

You’ve been too long in school

Head down to the place

Near to Thibodaux

Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco

Move that semi

Buddy, I’m insane

It’s now or never

I can’t touch the brakes

Well, it’s a stone’s throw from the Bayou

And I can see the sign

Shining like a beacon

Right on through the night

No more airs and graces

Gotta catch the show

Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco
