Bayou Woman Lyrics by Tony Joe White

Lake Placid Blues

1995

[Verse 1]
Across the river an owl was callin'
As he slowly made his rounds
A midnight dew was softly falling
On the ground, on the ground
[Verse 2]
She was standing by the campfire
I watched her move into the dance
And when she looked at me with those sexy eyes
They seemed to say, "Hey boy
D'ya wanna take a chance?"
[Chorus]
Bayou woman you make me feel it
Dancing barefoot in the night
Moving softly in the shadows
In the pale moonlight
[Verse 3]
Behind the clouds, the moon was slipping
I felt her move into my arms
She said, "Are you into skinny dippin'?"
I said, "Anything baby, to keep warm"
[Chorus 2]
Bayou woman you make me feel it
Runnin' barefoot in the night
Standing golden by the river
In the pale moonlight
[Chorus]
Bayou woman you make me feel it
Dancin' barefoot in the night
Moving softly in the shadows
In the pale, pale moonlight
