Oh Let's go down to the bayou and find true love
Listen to the blues and the gospel of Jesus
Feel the summer sunshine In the southern breezes
Hear the little babies Whimper and cry
Make a little promise Learn how to die
Oh Let's go out to the levy and find true love
Listen to the brass bands Do the second line
Pick a little guitar Spill a little wine
Hear the little babies Whimper and cry
Make a little promise and learn how to die
I promise to be open to feel joy and pain
The only way to make a life is to fail and try again
So Let's go up to the hilltop and find true love
Gaze upon the season from above the treeline
Pick a little fresh corn Spill a little moonshine
Hear the little babies Whimper and cry
Make a little promise and learn how to die
Oh Let's go on to the shoreline and find true love
Listen to the ocean thunder in the sky
Feel a little empty Run a little dry
Hear the little babies Whimper and cry
Make a little promise and learn how to die
I promise to be open to feel joy and pain
The only way to make a life is to fail and try again
Oh Let's go down to the bayou and find true love
Listen to the blues and the gospel of Jesus
Feel the summer sunshine In the southern breezes
Hear the little babies Whimper and cry
Make a little promise Make a little promise
Make a little promise Learn how to die"
