Testo Alligator Bait - Robert Finley

Testo della canzone Alligator Bait (Robert Finley), tratta dall'album Black Bayou

Down in the bayou

Put on your swamp boots, baby

We're going for a ride

Down by Black Bayou

Bring your camera, baby, we might

Might see an alligator or crocodile

I remember when, first time my pawpaw took me down Black Bayou

Had bought me a pair of hip boots

Well, we was out there walking around across on a log

And uh, I knew anything, 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 an alligator back"

A lot of 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 would, oh, I know that he loved me

And 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 said "Boy, you did good"

So confusing

I was just a lad

But I was old enough to get mad

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 said "Boy, the same thing grandpa did to you

When I was a little lad, he did to me too"

I ain't going 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 lotta fun

But I'm like, wouldn'ta had it if I'da knew what y'all were doin'

So I ain't going back

I decided 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
