about

Bayou Betty is a playful song about a cajun sugar mama.

lyrics

Bayou Betty, ever since she fed me
Keeps me steady coming back for more
From the backwoods to the levy
She’ll lay it on you heavy
Even lay you down a pallet on her floor
She’ll drive you plume crazy
With her alligator gravy
And her wild ox tail gumbo stew
Keeps that fiya jambalaya
Goodness gracious me-o-my-o
Makes it better than her own Mama Roux

Do you wanna go
Yonder see Bayou Betty
Hoodoo do si do
Honey I think I’m ready

I’m bound to have a fit
When she gets to making shrimps and grits
I ain’t gonna quit til she says I’m done
She makes a poor boy wanna holler
Once he gets him a big ol swallow
Of that sweet Mississippi Delta muddy water spiced rum

It just don’t taste the same
Once you get past Lake Ponchartrain
Brown sugar mama gonna ease my pain
When I come knocking on her door
She knows I’m hungry for more

Listen up because I’ll tell you what
I ain’t no cissy but I sure do strut
And I strut just like you ain’t never seen
But now I’m sitting hoping and wishing
She’d come on in my kitchen
Bayou Betty just a churning that sugar cream
Of all the places throughout the land
There’s a creole queen that will make you a man
The last thing I do before I die
Gonna keep it good and natural
Right out my gris gris satchel
Bayou Betty with some chocolate pecan pie

Do you wanna go
Yonder see Bayou Betty
Hoodoo do si do
Honey I think I’m ready

Drew Foust North Carolina

A natural soul singer and blues musician, Drew Foust’s music sounds like it’s made between the bleary hours of a rock bar’s last call and a southern preacher’s early morning prayer. Hand made, self-made and arranged in dramatic structure, the music is lyrical and rhythm driven, always pushing a feeling forward. His latest release, “Good Thing,” is inspired by old school-southern soul music. ... more
