Paroles de la chanson Alligator Bait par Robert Finley
Down in the Bayou
Put on your swamp boots, baby
We goin' for a ride
Down by Black Bayou
Bring your camera, baby, we might, might see an alligator or crocodile
I remember the first time my Papa took me down Black Bayou
Had bought me a pair of hip boots
Well, we was out there walkin' around across on a log, and uh
I didn't know anything and uh, I stepped on a log and the log moved
And I didn't know what to do, so my Grandpa said
"Boy, you stepped on a alligator back"
Put on your swamp boots, baby
We goin' for a ride
Down by Black Bayou
Bring your camera, baby, we might, might see an alligator or crocodile
I remember the first time my Papa took me down Black Bayou
Had bought me a pair of hip boots
Well, we was out there walkin' around across on a log, and uh
I didn't know anything and uh, I stepped on a log and the log moved
And I didn't know what to do, so my Grandpa said
"Boy, you stepped on a alligator back"
Lotta kids got ate like that
I didn't know no better, I was just a kid
But this low down thing that my Grandpa did
He know I know that he loved me, he wouldn't want me to get hurt
But what he did that day was mistake 'cause he used me for alligator bait
When the gator moved, he shot the gun
He say, "Boy, you did good"
So confusin', I was just a lad
But I was old enough to get mad, and
I said, "I'm going home and tell my Daddy what you did"
When I got home, I told my Daddy what happened
And he just laughed, laughed, laughed
He say, "Boy, the thing Grandpa did to you
I didn't know no better, I was just a kid
But this low down thing that my Grandpa did
He know I know that he loved me, he wouldn't want me to get hurt
But what he did that day was mistake 'cause he used me for alligator bait
When the gator moved, he shot the gun
He say, "Boy, you did good"
So confusin', I was just a lad
But I was old enough to get mad, and
I said, "I'm going home and tell my Daddy what you did"
When I got home, I told my Daddy what happened
And he just laughed, laughed, laughed
He say, "Boy, the thing Grandpa did to you
When I was a little lad, he did to me too"
I ain't goin' back in the jungle
You can't get me back to the swamp
Far as I'm gon' go is to that oak tree stump
That's where they skinned the gator
That's where we all sit there and ate her
And they laughed, they said "We had a whole lot of fun"
But I'm like, "You wouldn't've had it if I'd known what y'all were doin'"
So, uh, I ain't goin' back
I just thought I'd tell you that
Alligator bait
Alligator bait
I coulda got ate
They used me for alligator bait
I ain't goin' back in the jungle
You can't get me back to the swamp
Far as I'm gon' go is to that oak tree stump
That's where they skinned the gator
That's where we all sit there and ate her
And they laughed, they said "We had a whole lot of fun"
But I'm like, "You wouldn't've had it if I'd known what y'all were doin'"
So, uh, I ain't goin' back
I just thought I'd tell you that
Alligator bait
Alligator bait
I coulda got ate
They used me for alligator bait
That's why I don't hunt today
Somebody shoulda told me
Somebody shoulda told me
